Description
A quick and easy crustless pizza that’s lighter and perfect for weeknight meals or brunch gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup fresh basil (chiffonade or roughly chopped)
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- 1/2 cup pepperoni (or preferred toppings, sliced)
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 cups mozzarella cheese, shredded
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch baking dish.
- Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Add cottage cheese, garlic powder, and dried oregano. Stir until smooth and mostly lump-free.
- Fold in most of the fresh basil, reserving a little for garnish. Season with salt and pepper.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top with a spatula.
- Spoon the marinara sauce over the surface, leaving a few swirls for pockets of sauce.
- Arrange the pepperoni on top of the sauce.
- Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella evenly over everything.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the center is set and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm, garnished with remaining basil.
Notes
For variations, swap Greek yogurt for cottage cheese or use turkey pepperoni for a lighter option. This recipe is naturally gluten-free and low-carb.
