Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini turkey pepperoni slices
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat and Prepare: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Base: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Cheeses and Spices: Stir in the shredded mozzarella, most of the mini turkey pepperoni slices (reserve some for topping), grated parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch of salt and pepper until evenly incorporated.
  4. Assemble: Pour the batter into the prepared baking dish, smoothing the top. Scatter the remaining turkey pepperoni slices evenly on top for garnish.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bake is set in the middle and the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce on the side for dipping to enhance the pizza flavor experience.

Notes

  • Use low-fat cottage cheese to reduce calories and fat content if desired.
  • Turkey pepperoni offers a leaner alternative to traditional pepperoni.
  • For extra flavor, add chopped fresh basil or oregano in the mixture.
  • Make sure the bake is fully set before removing from the oven to avoid a runny center.
  • Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
