Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 cup cottage cheese blended until smooth — can use low-fat or fat-free
  • ¼ cup marinara or pizza sauce
  • 1 tablespoon almond flour or other gluten-free flour
  • ¼ cup chopped bell peppers any color
  • ⅛ cup sliced red onion
  • ⅛ cup chopped black olives
  • 1 teaspoon oregano or Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup light mozzarella cheese shredded
  • 4 –5 slices turkey pepperoni or your choice of pizza-style topping
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 °F (about 200 °C).
  2. In an oven-safe bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, marinara sauce, almond (or gluten-free) flour, chopped peppers, onions, olives, oregano (or Italian seasoning), salt, and pepper. Stir until evenly mixed.
  3. Smooth the mixture level in the bowl.
  4. Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly on top. Then arrange the pepperoni slices over the cheese layer.
  5. Bake for about 5–7 minutes — or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and the pepperoni starts to crisp. If you prefer a thicker, slightly firmer texture, you can bake a bit longer.
  6. Once baked, optionally garnish with fresh basil or parsley and a little grated Parmesan, if you like. Serve warm.
