Enjoy guilt-free pizza bliss! Our Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl is a high-protein, low-carb marvel. Seasoned cottage cheese, marinara, and gooey mozzarella create an irresistible microwave treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons mini beef pepperoni slices
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the cottage cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed.
  2. Step 2: Spoon the marinara sauce evenly over the seasoned cottage cheese, creating a distinct layer on top.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the marinara sauce, followed by the mini turkey pepperoni slices or your preferred pizza toppings.
  4. Step 4: Microwave the bowl on high for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese is completely melted and bubbly. Alternatively, for a crispier top, you can bake it in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 8-10 minutes.
  5. Step 5: Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave or oven. Let it cool for about a minute before serving directly from the bowl.

Notes

  • If you're prepping ahead or have a bit left, simply cover your pizza bowl tightly and refrigerate for up to 2 days; it's still delicious cold, or easily reheated for another quick meal!
  • When you're ready to enjoy your stored pizza bowl again, a quick zap in the microwave for 30-60 seconds will warm it right up, or for that lovely crispy cheese, reheat in a preheated oven at 300°F (150°C) for about 5-7 minutes.
  • Before diving in, consider a sprinkle of fresh basil or a pinch of red pepper flakes for an extra pop of flavor, and don't forget to scoop it up with a few whole-wheat crackers or toasted pita chips for a delightful crunch!
  • For a truly gourmet experience with a smoother, creamier base, give your cottage cheese a quick blitz in a food processor or blender before adding the seasonings; it transforms the texture beautifully!
