Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 1 cup marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cottage cheese For a creamier texture, use full-fat cottage cheese.
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil Add for delightful aroma.
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni Or any preferred toppings.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Assemble all ingredients on the countertop.
  2. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, and marinara sauce.
  3. Whisk until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  4. Gently fold in shredded mozzarella, oregano, garlic powder, and chopped basil.
Cooking
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Grease a pie pan or oven-safe skillet with olive oil.
  3. Pour the cheesy mixture into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
  4. Top with sliced pepperoni or your favorite toppings.
  5. Bake in the oven for 30-35 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.
  6. Remove from oven and let cool for 10 minutes.
  7. Cut into wedges with a sharp knife and serve warm.

Notes

For an extra creamy texture, use full-fat cottage cheese. Swap out pepperoni for veggies or indulge with cooked sausage. Let it cool before slicing for better texture. Store leftovers in the fridge for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 2 months.
