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

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your cottage cheese mixture.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, shredded mozzarella, grated parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  3. Add Pepperoni: Fold in the mini turkey pepperoni slices gently into the mixture, distributing them evenly throughout.
  4. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish or casserole dish to prevent sticking.
  5. Pour Mixture: Transfer the cottage cheese mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
  6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bake is set, lightly golden on top, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a hearty breakfast, snack, or light meal.
