Make this quick, low-carb pizza bowl using cottage cheese as a base. It is ready fast and satisfies pizza cravings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Pinch of salt
  • 1/4 cup low-sugar pizza sauce
  • 1/4 cup shredded low-moisture mozzarella cheese
  • 2 tablespoons pepperoni slices (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) or set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, and salt. Mix until fully combined.
  3. Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly into a small, oven-safe bowl or ramekin (about 4-6 inches wide).
  4. Bake in the oven for 10 minutes, or air fry for 8 minutes, until the base is set.
  5. Remove the bowl carefully. Spread the pizza sauce over the cooked base.
  6. Top with mozzarella cheese and pepperoni, if using.
  7. Return to the oven or air fryer for 3-5 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  8. Let it cool slightly before eating directly from the bowl.

Notes

  • For an air fryer, line the basket with parchment paper cut to fit for easier cleanup.
  • You can substitute the pepperoni with cooked ground meat or vegetables.
  • If you prefer a crispier edge, use a metal baking dish instead of a ceramic bowl.
