Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 680 g Full-Fat Cottage Cheese About 3 cups. Full-fat provides the best texture.
  • 2 large Eggs Acts as a binder for the base.
  • 15 g Italian Seasoning
  • 5 g Garlic Powder
  • 2.5 g Onion Powder
  • 240 ml Marinara Sauce Use a no-sugar-added variety for keto.
  • 240 g Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Freshly shredded melts best.
  • 60 g Pepperoni Slices Or your favorite pizza toppings.

Equipment

  • 9x9 inch baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x9 inch baking dish.
  2. In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder. Spread the mixture evenly into the prepared dish.
  3. Bake the cottage cheese base for 20 minutes until it's set.
  4. Remove from the oven. Spread the marinara sauce over the base. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and top with pepperoni slices.
  5. Return to the oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Let the bake rest for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving. This helps it set.

Notes

This dish is great for meal prep and can be customized with your favorite toppings. Let it cool slightly before cutting for easier serving.
