Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- ⅓ cup marinara sauce
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons bell pepper diced, divided
- 1 tablespoon black olives slices, divided
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese divided
- 8 pepperoni slices
Step 1: Prepare the Ramekins
Start by preparing two ramekins.
Ensure they are clean and ready for the mixture.
Step 2: Mix the Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, marinara sauce, pieces of olives, red bell pepper, and your choice of spices.
If you prefer a smoother texture and want to avoid the curds in the cottage cheese, blend the cottage cheese and marinara sauce together in a blender or food processor before adding the other ingredients.
Stir everything until well combined.
Step 3: Add Cheese and Portion the Mixture
Stir in half of the grated cheese into the mixture.
Once combined, divide the mixture evenly between the two ramekins.
Top each ramekin with 1 tablespoon of marinara sauce, the remaining mozzarella cheese, and a few slices of pepperoni.
Step 4: Cook the Mixture
For cooking options, you can air fry the ramekins at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbling.
Alternatively, microwave them for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is melted.
You can also preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake for 15-16 minutes or until the cheese is melted and lightly golden.
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once cooked, remove the ramekins from the heat source (they will be hot!).
Serve your dish with low-carb chips or almond flour crackers for a delicious low-carb pizza dinner.
Enjoy your meal!
