  • ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • ½ ounce sliced pepperoni

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 425℉ (220℃) to prepare for baking the pizza bowl.
  2. Mix Base Ingredients: In a bowl, combine ½ cup 2% cottage cheese, ¼ cup pizza sauce, and ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning. Stir well until evenly mixed to create the pizza base.
  3. Transfer to Oven-Safe Dish: Pour the combined mixture into a single-serve oven-safe container or bowl, spreading it evenly.
  4. Add Toppings: Sprinkle ¼ cup shredded mozzarella cheese on top, then arrange ½ ounce of sliced pepperoni evenly over the cheese layer.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 10 minutes, allowing the cheese to melt and the pepperoni to cook slightly.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the pizza bowl from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes before enjoying your warm, flavorful dish.

Notes

  • Use an oven-safe ramekin or ceramic bowl to bake the pizza bowl safely.
  • You can substitute pepperoni with other toppings like olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers for variety.
  • For a lower-fat version, use low-fat or fat-free cottage cheese and mozzarella.
  • Adjust Italian seasoning to your taste; adding a pinch of crushed red pepper can add some heat.
