  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Feel free to adjust based on taste.
  • Salt and pepper to taste Salt and pepper Use fresh ground pepper for better flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Start by gathering all your ingredients. Dice the tomatoes and chop the green bell peppers, so they are ready to go.
Mixing the Base
  1. In a medium-sized bowl, combine the cottage cheese with olive oil, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Stir well until everything blends beautifully.
Topping
  1. Spread the mixture into a serving bowl or individual bowls. Layer on the diced tomatoes, sliced olives, and chopped bell peppers, and finish with a generous sprinkling of shredded mozzarella cheese.
Heating
  1. If you want your cheese melty, pop the bowl into the microwave for about 30 seconds or until the cheese starts to get gooey. Alternatively, you can place it under a broiler for 1-2 minutes. Keep a close eye on it!
Serving
  1. Serve your Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl warm, and enjoy every creamy, cheesy bite!

Notes

Feel free to swap out the toppings according to your tastes. Use fresh herbs for garnish to elevate the dish’s aroma and flavor. Consider draining the cottage cheese for a thicker consistency.
