Pizza Style Cottage Cheese Bake

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, and milk. Stir until well mixed.
3. Add in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition to ensure a smooth mixture.
4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
5. Gradually incorporate the dry ingredients into the wet mixture, stirring until a thick batter forms.
6. Fold in the mini pepperoni slices, saving a few for the top.
7. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.
8. Top with the reserved pepperoni slices and bake in the preheated oven for about 40 minutes, or until golden brown and set.
9. Let the bake cool for a few minutes before slicing. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve warm.

Chef’s Tips

• You can substitute turkey pepperoni for a healthier option.
• Try adding chopped bell peppers or mushrooms for extra flavor.
• If you like it spicy, sprinkle some red pepper flakes on top before baking.
