Description

A healthy and comforting pizza bowl made with blended cottage cheese and vibrant veggies, perfect for busy weeknights.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (blended until smooth)
  • 1/4 cup pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1 tablespoon gluten-free flour or almond flour
  • 1/4 cup chopped peppers (any color)
  • 1/8 cup sliced red onions
  • 1/8 cup chopped black olives
  • 1 teaspoon oregano (or Italian seasoning)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 1/4 cup light mozzarella cheese
  • 45 turkey pepperoni slices

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  2. Combine the blended cottage cheese, pizza sauce, gluten-free flour, chopped peppers, sliced red onions, chopped black olives, oregano, salt, and pepper in an oven-safe bowl. Stir well until all ingredients are blended.
  3. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese on top of the cottage cheese mixture and arrange the turkey pepperoni slices on top.
  4. Bake for about 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the pepperoni has crisped up.
  5. Garnish with fresh basil or parsley and a little parmesan cheese before serving.

Notes

For a vegetarian alternative, swap turkey pepperoni with additional veggies. Keep fresh vegetables dry before adding to the mixture to avoid a watery texture.
