# High Protein Breakfast Pizza

These little pizzas swap wheat dough for a base of blended cottage cheese, eggs, and almond flour, so each round carries more protein than a standard slice. Blending the cottage cheese with the eggs until smooth is the step that matters: the curds vanish into the batter, giving you a light base that holds its shape with no kneading. Spoon it into small circles, add pizza sauce, mozzarella, and a few pepperoni slices, then give them about 20 minutes at 180°C (350°F); they are ready when the cheese has gone bubbly across the top. Cheddar can stand in for the mozzarella, and the almond flour keeps everything gluten-free.

## Ingredients

### Base

- 2 cups cottage cheese
- 4 pcs eggs
- 1 1/2 cups almond flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt

### Toppings

- pizza sauce (to taste)
- mozzarella (shredded)
- cheddar cheese (optional, in place of mozzarella)
- pepperoni sausage (a few slices per round)
- oregano (to taste)

## Instructions

1. Crack the eggs into a blender, add the cottage cheese, and blend for a few seconds until smooth. This is where the protein base comes from — the eggs bind everything and keep the dough light.
2. Pour the blended mix into a bowl, add the almond flour, baking powder, and salt, and stir until you have a thick batter that holds its shape.
3. Spoon small rounds onto a parchment-lined sheet pan with a little space between each — they spread slightly but settle into neat circles.
4. Top each round with a thin layer of pizza sauce, then shredded mozzarella (or cheddar), a few pepperoni slices, and a pinch of oregano.
5. Bake at 180°C / 350°F for about 20 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbling. _(timer: 20 min)_

## FAQ

### What makes it high-protein?

The base is cottage cheese and eggs blended smooth, with almond flour for structure — far more protein and fewer carbs than a flour dough.

### Is it gluten-free?

Yes — almond flour replaces wheat flour, so the base is gluten-free. Check your baking powder and toppings too if you need it strictly so.

### Can I make one big pizza?

Yes — spread the batter into one round instead of small ones; add a few minutes to the bake and make sure the centre sets before the topping over-browns.
