Whip up this incredibly fast Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl for a high-protein, low-carb meal that tastes like pizza without the crust. It is perfect for a quick dinner or meal prep.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 tablespoons marinara sauce or pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 tablespoon mini pepperoni slices (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Pinch of black pepper

Instructions

  1. Place the cottage cheese in a microwave-safe bowl.
  2. Spread the marinara sauce evenly over the cottage cheese base.
  3. Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese and pepperoni slices (if using) over the sauce.
  4. Season with Italian seasoning and black pepper.
  5. Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to prevent boiling over.
  6. Let it cool for one minute before eating.

Notes

  • For an air fryer method, place ingredients in a small, oven-safe ramekin, cook at 375°F (190°C) for 5-7 minutes until cheese melts.
  • Customize your bowl with low-carb toppings like sliced olives, mushrooms, or bell peppers.
  • If you prefer a thicker texture, use full-fat cottage cheese, but know this increases the fat content.
  • This recipe is great for a satisfying protein snack when you need a quick fix.
