Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup Cottage Cheese low-fat
  • 4 tbsp Marinara Sauce
  • 1 small Onion chopped
  • 1 small Tomato chopped
  • 1 small Capsicum chopped
  • 2 tbsp Mozzarella Cheese shredded
  • ½ tsp Oregano
  • ½ tsp Red Chili Flakes
  • Salt

Toppings:

  • 1 tbsp Marinara Sauce
  • 3 tbsp Mozzarella Cheese shredded

Instructions
 

  • In a mixing bowl, add cottage cheese, marinara sauce, oregano, red chili flakes, shredded mozzarella cheese, and chopped onions, tomatoes, and capsicum. Mix well.
  • Transfer the mixture to a mug or bowl. Make sure to set the mixture properly.
  • Add marinara sauce on top and spread it evenly. Then, fill the remaining mug or bowl with shredded mozzarella.
  • There are 3 ways to cook this pizza cottage cheese bowl:
    In the oven: Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F), and cook it for 10-15 minutes till the cheese has properly grilled, and is bubbly.
    In the air-fryer: This is a comparatively fast method. Just place the bowl in the air-fryer, set the temperature at 200°C (400°F), and let it cook for 10 mins.
    In the microwave: This is by far my go-to way to bring this dish to fruition. Simply microwave the bowl for a minute. Just is how I made this dish.
  • Your cottage cheese pizza bowl is ready to be served.

Notes

  • Add meat: As I said the recipe I made is a frame to be built upon, so I kept it as simple as possible. But, slices of pepperoni on top, or shredded chicken smattered in between is an excellent way to elevate the flavors and textures.
  • Load it with veggies: Include mushrooms, red and yellow bell peppers, olives, and even herbs like parsley for a total pizza bonanza!
  • Cheese alternatives: You can also use parmesan, cheddar, or any other cheese for a sharper taste. I use mozzarella because of its availability, and taste. But you can change it up as you like.
  • Larger batches: Why make it just for yourself when you can feed the whole family? You can use a casserole dish to make this recipe in larger batches, it is kid-friendly as well.
 
How to store:
This pizza bowl with cottage cheese is remarkably durable, and you can meal-prep this thing the previous night for an effortless breakfast.

In the freezer: You can certainly freeze it also for at least 2 months.
