Ingredients:

  • 1 cup cottage cheese (225g)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup low-sugar marinara sauce (60g)
  • 1/4 cup part-skim shredded mozzarella cheese (28g)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 10 slices mini pepperoni (10g)
  • 1 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese (5g)

Instructions:

  1. Place 1 cup cottage cheese into your bowl. Note: Use a bowl slightly larger than you think you need to prevent boil over.
  2. Crack 1 large egg into the cheese.
  3. Add 1/2 tsp garlic powder and 1 tsp Italian seasoning.
  4. Whisk vigorously with a fork until the mixture is pale yellow and mostly uniform.
  5. Smooth the top of the cheese mixture with the back of a spoon.
  6. Spread 1/4 cup marinara sauce gently over the top. Note: Don't stir it in; we want distinct layers like a real pizza.
  7. Sprinkle 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella evenly over the sauce.
  8. Arrange 10 slices of mini pepperoni on top of the mozzarella.
  9. Microwave on high for 5 minutes until the cheese is molten and the edges are bubbling.
  10. Remove carefully and top with 1 tbsp freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Let it rest for 1 minute to set the structure before diving in.
