Ingredients

Scale

Seasoning Blend

  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/4 tsp onion powder
  • Pinch red pepper flakes

Main Ingredients

  • 3/4 cup cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup marinara sauce
  • 1/2 cup bell pepper, diced
  • 1.5 oz pepperoni slices
  • 1/3 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the seasoning blend: In a small bowl, combine the Italian seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, and red pepper flakes. Mixing these spices together ensures even flavor distribution throughout the dish without clumping.
  2. Mix main ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, marinara sauce, diced bell peppers, and pepperoni. Add the prepared seasoning blend and stir thoroughly to combine. Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Taste a small spoonful to adjust seasoning as needed before cooking.
  3. Assemble in oven-safe bowl: Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe bowl. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top, and add a few extra pepperoni slices on the surface for added texture and visual appeal.
  4. Bake the pizza bowl: Place the bowl in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) and bake for 8-10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the contents are heated through.
  5. Broil for finishing touch: Switch the oven to broil on high and broil the dish for 2-3 minutes to brown the mozzarella lightly and crisp the pepperoni edges. Keep a close eye to avoid burning. Remove from oven and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes based on your spice preference.
  • Use fresh bell peppers for added crunch and color.
  • This recipe is best enjoyed immediately after broiling to retain the crispy topping texture.
  • If you prefer a vegetarian version, omit the pepperoni and add mushrooms or olives instead.
  • You can substitute marinara sauce with your favorite pizza sauce for different flavor profiles.
