Directions:
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
- In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and salt until smooth. Spread evenly on the baking sheet to form a pizza base about ¼-inch thick.
- Bake the crust for 15–18 minutes until golden and set.
- In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Sauté garlic for 1–2 minutes, then add spinach and cook until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Spread the garlic-spinach mixture over the baked crust. Top with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Bake another 8–10 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles.
- Let the pizza cool slightly before slicing and serving warm.
Tips for Success:
- Add cooked chicken, turkey bacon, or mushrooms for extra protein.
- Garnish with fresh basil, oregano, or chili flakes for an added flavor boost.
- Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 2 days; reheat in the oven for best texture.
