Viral Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl
This cottage cheese pizza bowl recipe is the perfect answer when craving pizza but don't want the crust. It's a quick and easy high-protein low-carb meal that can be eaten as a dip or with with the spoon by itself.
Ingredients
- ½ cottage cheese I used full fat
- ½ marinara sauce
- ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning or oregano and basil
- 6 pieces turkey pepperoni
- 1 ball mozzarella cheese or ½ cup shredded
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375F/190C.
- In an oven-safe bowl or dish combine the cottage cheese, marinara sauce, herbs, salt, and pepper and mix thoroughly.
- Layer sliced pieces ( or shredded) of mozzarella cheese and turkey pepperoni on top of the cottage cheese mixture.
- Place in the oven for 15 minutes or until the pizza is piping hot, the cheese melts and starts to get golden brown around the edges.
- Alternatively, you can bake it in the microwave for 3 30-second intervals mixing in between each one.
Notes
- You might need to drain your cottage cheese to prevent extra watery cottage cheese and tomato sauce mixture. To do so, just place your cottage cheese in a fine-mesh strainer while getting the other ingredients ready.
- If you are not a big fan of the cottage cheese curds you can choose to blend it before mixing with with the tomato sauce.
- Don't mix the mozzarella into the cottage cheese mixture: Creating distinct layers (cottage cheese mix on bottom, mozzarella on top) gives you that classic pizza texture contrast with a melty top and creamy base-.
- Transfer them to an airtight container and refrigerate for 2-3 days. When ready to eat, simply reheat in the microwave and enjoy!
