Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup Cottage cheese
  • 1/4 cup Pizza sauce or marinara sauce
  • 1/4 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tbsp Mini pepperoni, cooked sausage, or other protein (optional)
  • 2 tbsp Diced bell peppers, mushrooms, olives, or other toppings

  4. Add any desired toppings like pepperoni, sausage, or vegetables.
  5. Season with Italian seasoning and crushed red pepper flakes.
