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
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your cottage cheese mixture.
- 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.
- Add Pepperoni: Fold in the mini turkey pepperoni slices gently into the mixture, distributing them evenly throughout.
- Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a medium-sized baking dish or casserole dish to prevent sticking.
- Pour Mixture: Transfer the cottage cheese mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
- 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.
- Cool and Serve: Let the bake cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a hearty breakfast, snack, or light meal.
