Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
  • 2 tbsp marinara sauce
  • 6 slices turkey pepperoni
  • 1/4 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt, to taste
  • Fresh basil leaves, for serving (optional)

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, stir together the cottage cheese, egg, 2 tbsp mozzarella, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and red pepper flakes.
  2. Spread the mixture into an 8-ounce ramekin. Top evenly with the marinara sauce, remaining mozzarella, and pepperoni slices.
  3. Bake on the middle rack for about 15 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the edges are bubbling. For a crispier top, broil for 1 to 2 minutes at the end.
  4. Let the bowl rest for 5 minutes, then scoop and serve with fresh basil if you like.

Notes

The cottage cheese base firms up as it cools, so that 5-minute rest is what lets you scoop the bowl out cleanly. If you double the recipe and bake it in a larger dish, the center may need an extra 5 minutes or so to set completely.
