Low Carb Flatbread Pizza

I love the new takes on pizza crust these days. The only problem is that store-bought "low carb" options are still filled with a bunch of processed ingredients, seed oils, and artificial flavors. Here's a junk-free, delicious low carb flatbread. 

Ingredients

Flatbread: 1 cup of Good culture low fat cottage cheese, 2 eggs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, avocado oil spray, pinch of Himalayan salt (don’t need much since cottage cheese comes salted!)

Toppings: 1 pack Force of Nature Ground Venison Ancestral Blend (or your favorite ground beef), 2- 3 tbsp of EVOO, cherry tomatoes, 3 cloves of garlic, 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, red pepper flakes, garlic powder, dried basil, pesto, pinch of Himalayan salt (feel free to add fresh mozzarella if you’d like!)

Directions

Flatbread: Preheat your oven to 350F. In your food processor or blender, add cup of cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, herbs, and small pinch of salt.

On a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spray avo oil and pour mixture starting from the center. It’s important to have your mixture thin to get it crispy! Throw in the oven and set a timer for 40 min, remove when browned & crispy.

Toppings: Wash & slice cherry tomatoes in halves. Peel and slice garlic cloves. Add to oven-safe dish and mix with 1 tbsp of EVOO. Sprinkle salt & dried basil. Cook in the oven for about 20 minutes.

Heat 1 tbsp of EVOO on large skillet on medium-high heat. Add ground meat, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and cook until browned, breaking it apart until cooked (5-7 minutes)

Remove crust from oven, and remove parchment paper (I find it easiest to flip it over directly on top of the baking sheet). Add 1/2 cup of cottage cheese, ground beef, and roasted tomatoes. With your pesto, spread on the ‘crust’ side of the flatbread. Top everything with dried basil, pinch of salt, and red pepper flakes. Pop back in the oven for 3-4 minutes.

Light some candles, pour yourself a glass of champagne, play Frank Sinatra, and enjoy!

Wine optional but highly recommended xx
