What is a keto cottage cheese egg pizza crust?

It’s a low-carb pizza base made with just cottage cheese, eggs, and a bit of cheese or seasoning. It’s high-protein, gluten-free, and bakes into a flexible, sturdy crust that holds toppings like a champ.

How do you make the crust at home?

Blend or mix cottage cheese and eggs with shredded cheese and seasoning. Bake on parchment at 375°F until golden and firm. Then top and bake again until bubbly.

What are the nutrition benefits of this crust?

It’s rich in protein, calcium, and B vitamins. Plus, it’s low in carbs, with no refined flours or fillers.

Will the crust be crispy or soggy?

Crispy on the edges, soft in the middle. Bake longer for more crunch, especially before adding toppings.

Can I use low‑fat or fat‑free cottage cheese?

Yes, but full-fat gives better structure and taste. Low-fat versions may need extra cheese to hold shape.

Are there any downsides or nutritional concerns?

It’s dairy-heavy, so not great for those with lactose issues. It also has little fiber — just pair it with a veggie side like our Mediterranean Bean Salad .

Keto Cottage Cheese Egg Pizza Crust: Easy, Cheesy, and Low-Carb

Ingredients

Scale

¾ cup full-fat cottage cheese
2 large eggs
½ cup shredded mozzarella (or any melty cheese you love)
Pinch of garlic powder
Pinch of Italian seasoning
Pinch of salt

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 375°F.
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and cottage cheese until creamy and smooth.
Stir in the shredded cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and salt.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and pour the mixture into a circle or rectangle shape.
Bake for about 20 minutes, until golden and set in the center.
Let cool slightly, then add your favorite toppings.
Return to the oven just long enough to melt the cheese and warm the toppings.

Notes

Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and flavor. For a crispier base, bake a few minutes longer before adding toppings.
