Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 cup marinara sauce no sugar added
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup sliced beef beef pepperoni
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil for greasing pan

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Lightly grease a 9-inch pie pan or oven-safe skillet with olive oil and set aside.
  3. Add the cottage cheese, eggs, and marinara sauce to a medium mixing bowl.
  4. Whisk the mixture until creamy and mostly smooth.
  5. Gently fold in the shredded mozzarella, dried oregano, garlic powder, and chopped fresh basil until evenly combined.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared pan and spread it into an even layer.
  7. Arrange the sliced beef beef pepperoni evenly over the top.
  8. Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges are set, the top is golden, and the center is just barely firm.
  9. Remove from the oven and let the crustless pizza pie cool for 10 minutes.
  10. Slice into wedges and serve warm.

Notes

- Use a no-sugar-added marinara sauce to keep this recipe low carb and diabetic-friendly.
- You can swap the beef pepperoni for cooked sausage, vegetables, or your favorite low-carb toppings.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days and reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
