Ingredients

Scale
  • 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
  • 45 turkey pepperoni slices
  • Salt & black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Turn your oven on and preheat it to 400 degrees F.
  2. Mix up the base: Combine the blended cottage cheese, pizza sauce, gluten-free flour, peppers, onions, olives, oregano, salt, and pepper in an oven-safe bowl. Stir well.
  3. Add the toppings: Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the cottage cheese mixture and add the pepperoni slices.
  4. Bake your cottage cheese pizza bowl: Put the bowl in the preheated oven and bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly and the pepperoni has crisped up. Want a thicker consistency? Bake a little longer for best results. If you’re making several of these bowls at once, you can arrange them on a baking sheet before putting them in the oven so that it’s easy to put them into the oven and take them out all at once.
  5. Garnish and serve: If you’d like, garnish each bowl with some fresh basil or parsley and a little parmesan cheese and enjoy! If you’re making it ahead, make sure to let it cool before storing in an airtight container in the fridge.
