– 2 large eggs

Instructions

Creating the Pizza Style Cottage Cheese Bake is simple and fun. Just follow these steps:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish with olive oil.
2. Mix Cottage Cheese: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
3. Add Vegetables: Stir in the chopped spinach, diced bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms. Ensure the vegetables are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
4. Incorporate Cheese: Fold in the shredded mozzarella cheese, reserving a small handful for topping later.
5. Add Marinara Sauce: Pour half of the marinara sauce into the bottom of the greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Layer the Mixture: Spoon the cottage cheese mixture over the marinara sauce, spreading it out evenly.
7. Top with Toppings: Arrange the pepperoni slices on top of the cottage cheese mixture. Drizzle the remaining marinara sauce over the top.
8. Finish with Cheese: Sprinkle the reserved mozzarella cheese over the entire dish to create a cheesy, bubbly topping.
9. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly, and the edges are golden brown.
10. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing. This helps the dish set up for easier serving.
