Ingredientes

2 cups cottage cheese

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 large eggs

1 cup marinara or pizza sauce

1 teaspoon dried oregano

½ teaspoon garlic powder

½ teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 cup chopped bell peppers

½ cup sliced black olives

1 cup cooked sausage or pepperoni (optional)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil (or 1 teaspoon dried)

1 tablespoon olive oil

Instrucciones

Preheat the Oven:Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a 9×9-inch baking dish with olive oil.

Make the Cheese Base:In a bowl, mix together cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan, and half the mozzarella. Add oregano, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Stir until smooth.

Layer the Ingredients:Pour the cheese mixture into the baking dish and spread evenly. Spoon marinara sauce over the top, then layer with bell peppers, olives, and cooked meat if using. Sprinkle remaining mozzarella and basil over the top.

Bake:Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly and lightly golden. Broil for 2–3 minutes for a crispier top, if desired.

Cool and Serve:Let the bake rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm with a side salad or vegetables.

Notas

Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture.

Swap sausage for mushrooms or zucchini to keep it vegetarian.

Great for meal prep—just reheat individual slices in the microwave or oven.

Freeze leftovers for up to 2 months; thaw overnight before reheating
