Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup mini turkey pepperoni slices
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese

Seasonings

  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • Pinch of salt and pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix cottage cheese and eggs: In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until you achieve a smooth, uniform mixture.
  3. Add cheeses and seasonings: Stir in the shredded mozzarella, most of the mini turkey pepperoni slices (reserve some for topping), grated parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all the flavors evenly.
  4. Prepare for baking: Pour the combined mixture into the greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top with the remaining turkey pepperoni slices for a flavorful finish.
  5. Bake the dish: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the bake is fully set, and the cheese on top is bubbly and golden brown.
  6. Cool and serve: Let the bake cool for a few minutes before slicing it into portions. Serve warm with a side of marinara sauce for a tasty dipping option.

Notes

  • You can substitute turkey pepperoni with regular pepperoni or other preferred deli meats.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit the pepperoni and add chopped vegetables like bell peppers or mushrooms.
  • Using low-fat or part-skim cheeses can reduce the fat content further if desired.
  • Make sure to not overbake to keep the bake moist and creamy.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated in the oven or microwave.
