Make this easy cottage cheese pizza bowl for a high-protein, low-carb alternative to traditional pizza. It uses a simple cottage cheese base instead of crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 cup low-sugar pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • Your favorite pizza toppings (e.g., sliced pepperoni, mushrooms)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a small, oven-safe bowl or ramekin that holds about 1.5 cups.
  2. In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, oregano, and garlic powder. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
  3. Spoon the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared bowl, pressing it down slightly to form an even base.
  4. Bake the base for 15 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden.
  5. Remove the bowl from the oven. Spread the pizza sauce evenly over the cottage cheese base.
  6. Top with mozzarella cheese and your chosen pizza toppings.
  7. Return the bowl to the oven and bake for another 5 to 8 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let it cool for a few minutes before eating directly from the bowl.

Notes

  • For a microwave version, mix the base ingredients and microwave in a microwave-safe bowl for 2 to 3 minutes until set, then add toppings and microwave for 1 minute more until cheese melts.
  • You can use full-fat cottage cheese if preferred, but the low-fat version works well for setting the base.
  • This recipe makes a single serving, perfect for a quick lunch or dinner.
