# Ingredients:
→ Main Components
01 -
Half a cup of creamy 2% cottage cheese
02 -
Quarter cup of your favorite pizza sauce
03 -
Half a teaspoon of fragrant Italian seasoning blend
04 -
Quarter cup of freshly shredded mozzarella cheese
05 -
Half an ounce of thinly sliced pepperoni
# Instructions:
01 -
Start by heating your oven to a nice hot 425 degrees Fahrenheit so it's perfectly preheated and ready to go.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the pizza sauce and Italian seasoning, stirring everything together until well blended. Then transfer this tasty mixture into a small oven-safe dish that's perfect for individual serving.
03 -
Generously sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over your cottage cheese base, then arrange the pepperoni slices on top for that classic pizza flavor.
04 -
Pop your assembled pizza bowl into the preheated oven and let it bake for about 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and everything is heated through beautifully.
05 -
Take your pizza bowl out of the oven and let it cool down for just a few minutes before diving in - this prevents any burnt tongues and lets the flavors settle perfectly!
# Notes:
01 -
Feel free to add a quarter cup of diced vegetables like colorful bell peppers or onions during the mixing step for extra nutrition and crunch.
02 -
If you don't have pizza sauce on hand, regular marinara sauce works just as wonderfully as a substitute.
