Description
A high-protein, low-carb Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl with creamy cottage cheese, tangy tomato sauce, melted mozzarella, and your favorite toppings – the perfect quick comfort food.
Ingredients
1 cup cottage cheese low-fat or full-fat, your choice
1/2–1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or mixed herbs
4 tablespoons San Marzano Tomato Sauce sugar-free or your favorite brand
1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
20 slices pepperoni or any preferred topping like cooked chicken, olives, or mushrooms
Salt flakes and black pepper to taste
Fresh basil leaves or chilli flakes for garnish optional
Instructions
1. Preheat your oven or air fryer to 160°C fan/180°C static/350°F.
2. In two oven-safe bowls, layer the cottage cheese evenly on the bottom.
3. Add half the Italian seasoning and mix through the cottage cheese.
4. Spread the pizza sauce over the cottage cheese.
5. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
6. Arrange your chosen toppings (e.g., pepperoni, chicken, or veggies) over the mozzarella.
7. Season with the remaining Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
8. Place the bowl(s) in the oven or air fryer and bake for 8–10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
9. Carefully remove the bowl, garnish with fresh basil or chili flakes if desired, and serve warm.
Notes
Drain cottage cheese slightly before layering to avoid excess liquid.
Customize toppings to your preference – chicken, veggies, or even sausage work great.
Store leftovers covered in the fridge for up to 3 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer.
