⭐ Ingredients
Base
1 cup low-fat cottage cheese
½ cup shredded mozzarella (part-skim)
¼ cup grated parmesan
1 scoop unflavored or mozzarella-flavor whey protein isolate (optional but boosts protein massively)
1 large egg
Sauce + Toppings
¼–⅓ cup sugar-free pizza sauce (or marinara)
20–25 slices mini pepperoni (or turkey pepperoni for lower calories)
¼ tsp garlic powder
¼ tsp Italian seasoning
Red pepper flakes (optional)
Extra mozzarella for topping (2–3 tbsp)
Optional add-ins (still high protein):
Sliced mushrooms
Chopped bell pepper
Turkey sausage
Spinach
🥣 Instructions
- Blend the Protein Base
In a bowl (or blender for smoothness) mix:
Cottage cheese
Egg
Protein powder
Half of the mozzarella
Parmesan
Garlic powder + Italian seasoning
Blend or stir until creamy.
- Pour + Bake the Base
Pour mixture into a small baking dish (8×8 or mini casserole).
Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 10 minutes, until set but not fully browned.
- Add Pizza Toppings
Remove from oven and add:
Pizza sauce
Mozzarella
Pepperoni slices
Any optional toppings
- Bake Again
Return to oven for 5–7 minutes, or until cheese is bubbling and pepperoni edges crisp.
- Serve
Let cool 3 minutes, then dig in!
It slices like a deep-dish pizza bake.

🔥 Tips for Maximum Flavor
Broil the top for 1 minute for that browned cheesy finish.
Add 1 tsp parmesan to the pizza sauce for more “pizzeria” flavor.
Mix in spinach or mushrooms for extra volume without adding carbs.
