This quick and comforting crustless pizza bowl delivers all the classic pizza flavors in just minutes. Packed with protein-rich cottage cheese, rich marinara, and gooey melted mozzarella, it’s the perfect low-effort meal for busy days.
Ingredients
Base
- 0.75 cup cottage cheese
- 0.25 cup marinara sauce thick, low-sugar preferred
- 0.25 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Toppings
- 0.25 cup diced bell peppers optional
- 0.25 cup black olives optional, sliced
- 0.25 cup cooked ground meat beef or turkey, optional
Instructions
- Scoop the cottage cheese into a microwave-safe or oven-safe ramekin and smooth it into an even layer.
- Spoon marinara sauce over the cottage cheese, then sprinkle mozzarella evenly on top. Add your favorite toppings.
- Microwave on high for 90 seconds to 2 minutes until the cheese is melted and the sauce is hot. Alternatively, bake in a preheated 200°C (400°F) oven for 10 minutes, then broil for 1 minute for a crisp finish.
- Remove carefully and enjoy immediately with a spoon while hot and gooey.
Notes
You can customize this bowl endlessly with your favorite toppings. For a crispier texture, use the oven method. Choose lean, cooked meats like beef or turkey for a balanced, protein-rich meal.
