Description

This Pizza Cottage Cheese Bake is a high-protein, low-carb, and gluten-free dinner that tastes like comfort food but supports healthy eating goals. Easy to prepare and full of cheesy goodness, it combines classic pizza flavors with the creamy texture of cottage cheese for a satisfying, oven-baked dish.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/3 cup pizza sauce (sugar-free if preferred)
  • 1/4 cup chopped bell peppers (optional)
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons chopped red onions (optional)
  • Extra shredded mozzarella, for topping
  • Fresh basil or parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a small baking dish or oven-safe bowl.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. Mix until smooth.
  3. Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish.
  4. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the cottage cheese mixture.
  5. Sprinkle with shredded mozzarella cheese. Add your desired optional toppings like bell peppers, black olives, and red onions.
  6. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the top is bubbly and the center is set.
  7. Remove from the oven, let it cool slightly, garnish with fresh basil or parsley, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For a smoother texture, blend the cottage cheese before mixing.
  • Use room temperature eggs for even baking.
  • Avoid overbaking; the center should be set.
  • Drain watery cottage cheese to prevent a runny bake.
  • Double the recipe for meal prep or larger servings.
