A playful twist on classic pizza, delivering the satisfying flavors you crave with a protein-packed boost. Imagine a creamy, cheesy base loaded with your favorite pizza toppings.
Ingredients
1 cup of cottage cheese (blended until smooth) – you can use low-fat cottage cheese or fat-free cottage cheese
1/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1 tablespoon gluten-free flour or almond flour
1/4 cup chopped peppers (any color—make it vibrant!)
1/8 cup sliced red onions
1/8 cup chopped black olives
1 teaspoon oregano (or Italian seasoning)
1/4 cup light mozzarella cheese
4–5 turkey pepperoni slices
Salt & black pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F.
2. Combine blended cottage cheese, pizza sauce, gluten-free flour, chopped peppers, onions, olives, oregano, salt, and pepper in an oven-safe bowl and stir.
3. Sprinkle mozzarella cheese and arrange pepperoni slices on top.
4. Bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pepperoni is crisp. For thicker consistency, bake a little longer.
5. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and parmesan cheese, if desired. Cool before storing.
Notes
Adjust to your microwave: Microwaves vary, so keep a close eye on your bowl as it cooks, especially during the last minute.
Mix well: Make sure the cottage cheese and sauce are evenly combined.
Let it cool: A few minutes of cooling time will make it easier to enjoy, and allow the cheese to set slightly.
Get creative: Have fun with your toppings and make it your own.
