Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Eggs

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Meat

  • 1/2 cup mini turkey pepperoni slices

Spices and Seasonings

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven and Prepare Dish: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Cottage Cheese and Eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until the mixture becomes smooth and well combined.
  3. Add Cheeses and Seasonings: Stir in the shredded mozzarella, most of the mini turkey pepperoni (reserve some for the top), grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Mix everything evenly.
  4. Assemble in Baking Dish: Pour the combined mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Then, top the mixture with the remaining mini turkey pepperoni slices for extra flavor and visual appeal.
  5. Bake Until Set: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes or until the casserole is set, and the cheese on top is bubbly and lightly browned.
  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm, ideally with a side of marinara sauce for dipping to enhance the pizza flavor experience.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey pepperoni with regular pepperoni or your preferred pizza topping for variation.
  • For a dairy-free option, you can try replacing the cheeses with vegan alternatives, though texture may differ.
  • This bake stores well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheats nicely in the oven or microwave.
  • Adding chopped vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms can boost the nutrition while adding flavor.
  • Use low-fat cottage cheese if you want to reduce calories and fat content.
