Instructions

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×9-inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese and eggs until smooth.
Stir in mozzarella, most of the turkey pepperoni, parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and smooth the top.
Add the reserved pepperoni slices on top.
Bake for 30–35 minutes, or until the center is set and the edges are golden.
Let cool slightly before slicing. Serve with marinara sauce for dipping.

Notes

Add chopped spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers for extra veggies.

Swap cottage cheese for ricotta for a creamier texture.

Use spicy pepperoni or chili flakes for heat.

Make it vegetarian with olives, onions, and zucchini instead of meat.

Freezes well in individual slices for meal prep.
