This Cottage Cheese Pizza Bowl is gluten free, high protein, and is ready in less than thirty minutes! You can get creative with the pizza toppings and add what you would normally order on a pizza, use whatever is left in the fridge, or try something new. It can be different every time!
I love a delicious snack that satisfies a craving and bonus points when it’s high in protein 🙌 This pizza bowl is basically lasagna without the pasta and takes no time to throw together. It has all of the flavors of pizza with a lasagna sauce consistency… out of this world!
This has very quickly been added to my weekly meal rotation and I have a feeling it will be for you too 💁♀️
Watch how to make it HERE.
What You’ll Need
- Pizza toppings of choice – I sliced some bell peppers, jalapenos, olives, and turkey pepperoni!
- Cottage cheese
- Marinara sauce
- Italian seasoning
- Cheese – optional but I love adding mozzarella and parmesan.
How To Make
Start by preheating the oven to 400F. Prepare any pizza toppings you want to add to your pizza bake! Some of my favorites I use over and over are bell peppers, jalapenos, and turkey pepperoni.
Next, mix cottage cheese and marinara or pizza sauce to a bowl and stir to combine. Add the pizza toppings and Italian seasoning and mix again.
Lightly grease an oven-safe baking dish and pour the mixture in. Sprinkle some cheese on top and add a few more pepperonis or other toppings. Bake in the oven for twenty minutes, until cheese is all melted and everything is mixed and bubbling. Enjoy!

Tasty, mine turned out a little watery though. I used low-fat cottage cheese b/c that’s what I had on hand. I wonder if it would’ve been better with full fat cottage cheese though. Oh well, I will try it again. Thanks for the recipe!
Full fat cottage cheese will make it a bit thicker! Glad you still enjoyed! 🙂
Full fat cottage cheese might have been better. But, I just came across a small curd cottage cheese that is not runny, a little on the dry side that I used and it did better. It’s called; “Good” cottage cheese. A lot of people are using it in their recipes now. It’s in stores; Aldi’s, Fred Meyer/Krogers. I’m not sure if Costco carries it.
Yes! Good culture cottage cheese is my favorite and thicker 🙂
I’m wondering why we are baking this in an oven. Couldn’t we do it in a microwave a lot faster???
You can use the microwave if you want! Both work great!
