Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl
🧂 Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese (full-fat for best texture)
- ½ cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2–4 tbsp pizza sauce (skip if strict carnivore)
- ¼ cup cooked ground beef or pepperoni slices
- Salt (to taste)
Optional toppings (non-strict):
- Mushrooms
- Olives
- Bell peppers
🔥 Instructions
1. Preheat
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F).
2. Build the Bowl
In an oven-safe dish:
- Spread cottage cheese as the base
- Add cooked meat (beef or pepperoni)
- Spoon pizza sauce on top (optional)
- Sprinkle mozzarella evenly
3. Bake
- Bake for 15–20 minutes
- Until cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly golden
4. Broil (Optional)
- Broil for 2–3 minutes for a crispy, pizza-like top
5. Cool & Serve
Let it sit for a few minutes before eating—it thickens as it cools.
🥩 Strict Carnivore Version
Skip sauce and veggies. Use:
- Cottage cheese
- Ground beef
- Mozzarella
- Salt
You’ll get a creamy, cheesy meat bowl with a pizza-like vibe.
🧠Tips
- Drain cottage cheese slightly if you want it thicker
- Add egg before baking for a firmer, casserole-like texture
- Use more meat if you want it extra filling
