Instructions

Prepare the Cottage Cheesy Sauce: Add the cottage cheese and nutritional yeast to a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth, creamy, and sauce-like. Set aside or store leftovers in the fridge for up to 1 week.
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). You can also use an air fryer as an alternative cooking method.
Cook the Fillings: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the ground chicken sausage until fully cooked and lightly browned, breaking it apart while cooking. In a separate pan or skillet, scramble the eggs with salt and black pepper to taste until cooked through. Set both aside.
Assemble the Pizza: Place the tortilla on a baking sheet or pizza stone. Evenly spread the cottage cheesy sauce over the tortilla, leaving a small border. Layer the scrambled eggs evenly over the sauce, followed by the cooked chicken sausage. Add any optional diced bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, or salsa if desired. Finally, sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the top.
Bake the Pizza (Oven Method): Bake in the preheated oven for 10–12 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the tortilla edges turn golden and crispy.
Alternatively, Use Air Fryer: Cook the assembled pizza at 375°F for 5–8 minutes until the cheese melts and the edges are crisp.
Serve: Remove the pizza from the oven or air fryer, garnish with fresh herbs such as parsley or chives, slice, and enjoy immediately.

Notes

You can customize your pizza with your choice of veggies like bell peppers, onions, or tomatoes for extra nutrition and flavor.
Use low-carb or gluten-free tortillas to keep the recipe diet-friendly.
Leftover cottage cheesy sauce can be refrigerated and used within one week.
Cooking times may vary slightly depending on oven or air fryer models; keep an eye on cheese melting and tortilla crispness.
For a vegetarian version, substitute chicken sausage with plant-based sausage or additional veggies.
