Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1/2 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup sliced pepperoni
  • 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Method
 

  1. Layer the Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, spread the cottage cheese as the base. Pour the marinara sauce over it.
  2. Add Toppings: Sprinkle the sliced pepperoni, black olives, and diced bell peppers evenly over the top.
  3. Cheesy Goodness: Cover with shredded mozzarella or cheddar cheese and sprinkle with Italian seasoning.
  4. Heat and Melt: Microwave for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted. For a crispy top, place the bowl under the oven broiler for 2-3 minutes.
  5. Serve and Enjoy: Let cool slightly and enjoy straight from the bowl, or scoop onto toasted bread or low-carb crackers.

Notes

  • Make it spicier by adding crushed red pepper flakes or jalapeños.
  • Use turkey pepperoni for a leaner option.
  • Swap cottage cheese for ricotta or Greek yogurt for a different texture.
  • For a vegetarian version, replace the pepperoni with mushrooms or grilled zucchini.
  • Storage: Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
