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 Oven: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Cheeses and Seasonings: Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese, most of the mini turkey pepperoni (reserve some for topping), grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until evenly incorporated.
  4. Prepare for Baking: Pour the cheese and egg mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with the reserved mini turkey pepperoni slices to add extra flavor and visual appeal.
  5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the bake is set, 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 warm, ideally with a side of marinara sauce for dipping to enhance the pizza flavor experience.

Notes

  • Make sure to use well-drained cottage cheese to avoid excess moisture in the bake.
  • You can substitute turkey pepperoni with regular pepperoni or omit it for a vegetarian version.
  • For a crispier top, broil the bake for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
  • Serve with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a balanced meal.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 3 days and reheat before serving.
