Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese (full fat for richer flavor, or low-fat for fewer calories)
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup low-carb pizza sauce or marinara sauce
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
A pinch of red pepper flakes (optional for a touch of heat)
1/2 cup diced bell peppers (any color you fancy)
1/4 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup minced onion
1/2 cup cooked sausage or pepperoni slices (omit for a vegetarian option)
Fresh basil leaves for garnish (optional but delightful)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, half of the mozzarella, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder until well blended.
Spread this mixture into a small, ovenproof bowl or individual-sized casserole dish.
Pour the pizza sauce evenly over the cottage cheese mixture.
Sprinkle the remaining mozzarella cheese across the top.
Arrange the bell peppers, olives, onion, and sausage or pepperoni on top.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and golden.
Let it sit for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh basil leaves if desired.
