Ingredients
- 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs (room temperature)
- ½ cup almond flour (or oat flour)
- 1 tsp baking powder
- Pinch of salt
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 2–3 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, and salt into a thick batter.
- Spread the mixture into a ½-inch thick oval or rectangle on the parchment-lined sheet.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes until golden and firm.
- Meanwhile, sauté garlic in olive oil over medium heat for 30 seconds, then add spinach. Cook until wilted, season with salt and pepper, and drain in a colander.
- Spread the spinach mixture over the baked crust, top with mozzarella and Parmesan.
- Return to oven and bake for 10 minutes until cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before slicing and serving.
Notes
- Use oat flour or sunflower seed flour for nut-free alternatives.
- Frozen spinach can be used if well-drained.
- Make the crust ahead and store at room temp until ready to top and bake.
- Add sun-dried tomatoes, mushrooms, or roasted peppers for more veggies.
- Great served with arugula salad or marinated artichoke hearts.
