Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce or marinara
- 24–30 turkey bacon slices
- Extra mozzarella cheese, for topping
- Fresh basil or parsley, optional garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
- In a medium bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, egg, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder. Stir until well mixed.
- Spread the pizza sauce or marinara evenly on the bottom of the greased baking dish.
- Layer the turkey bacon slices over the sauce, covering it completely.
- Pour the cottage cheese mixture over the turkey bacon slices, spreading it evenly.
- Top with extra mozzarella cheese for a melty finish.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
- Garnish with fresh basil or parsley if desired, and let it cool for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- You can swap turkey bacon for regular pepperoni if you prefer a more classic pizza flavor.
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
- Let the dish rest for at least 5 minutes after baking so it holds together when you serve it.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F for best results rather than using a microwave.
