Recipe: Viral Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl

Recipes

Oct 19

I gotta be honest… I really didn’t ever think I’d make this.

I’m not a “cottage cheese” girlie. I have thrown it in my eggs before, but I could never (seriously never) eat it by itself… so when I first saw this recipe floating around Instagram and TikTok, I didn’t expect to try it.

But, then I saw more and more people say it was actually incredible, and it convinced me!!

Plus, I realized how freaking easy it was and fast, easy, high-protein dinners are my love langauge.

Okay so what’s the recipe?

Cottage Cheese Base:

1/2 cup of 2% cottage cheese
75 grams Rao’s pizza sauce
1-2 tbsp italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings:

1/3 cup diced bell peppers
12 slices of turkey pepperoni
15 grams Parmesan cheese

Directions:

Mix all the cottage cheese mix ingredients in a microwave safe bowl
Once mixed, put the toppings on top
Microwave for ~90 seconds (I covered with a damp paper towel to prevent mess!)
Note: I added homemade pita chips on the side!! Could also be eaten with tortilla chips or fresh bread (or eaten alone!!)
