Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon pizza seasoning (Italian seasoning works well)
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella

Toppings

  • Marinara sauce or pesto
  • Shredded mozzarella (additional for topping as desired)
  • Pizza toppings such as pepperoni, salami, mushrooms, ham, or other favorites

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s ready for baking your pizza snacks.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and pizza seasoning. Stir thoroughly to blend all flavors evenly.
  3. Add Dry Ingredients: Incorporate the baking powder, flour, and shredded mozzarella into the wet mixture. Stir until a consistent batter forms.
  4. Form Mini Pizza Bases: Line a baking tray with parchment paper. Use an ice cream scoop to portion the batter onto the tray as small mounds. Lightly press each mound down with the back of the scoop to flatten slightly.
  5. Add Toppings: Spoon marinara sauce or pesto onto each pizza base, sprinkle additional shredded mozzarella, and add your preferred pizza toppings like pepperoni, mushrooms, or ham.
  6. Bake: Place the tray in the oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the snacks are golden brown and the cheese is bubbly.
  7. Serve: Enjoy these pizza snacks hot from the oven or serve them cold as a tasty, convenient treat.
