Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Provides a creamy base and high protein; substitute with ricotta for a smoother texture.
  • 1 cup Low-Sugar Marinara Sauce Adds moisture and flavor without added sugars; opt for homemade or brands like Rao’s for the best taste.
For the Cheesy Goodness
  • 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Adds meltiness and flavor; feel free to use other cheeses like cheddar for variation.
  • 1/4 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese Contributes depth of flavor; this is optional for those wanting a cheesier finish.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon Dried Oregano Provides an aromatic Italian flavor; fresh oregano can be substituted for a fresher taste.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic Powder Enhances flavor with a subtle garlic note; fresh minced garlic is a great alternative for a stronger taste.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Crushed Red Pepper Flakes Introduces a spicy kick; omit if you prefer a milder flavor.
For the Toppings
  • 1 cup Mini Pepperoni Slices Adds a classic pizza topping; use chopped regular pepperoni for variation.
  • as needed Olive Oil Spray Prevents sticking while greasing ramekins; non-stick spray works too.
