Cottage Cheese Pizza Bites
These 4-Ingredient Cottage Cheese Pizza Bites are a delicious, low-carb snack that satisfies your pizza cravings.
Ingredients
For the pizza bites
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese Use low-fat for a healthier option.
- 1 cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese Feel free to substitute with part-skim mozzarella.
- 1/2 cup Pizza Sauce Any preferred brand works; homemade is even better!
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian Seasoning Adjust more or less based on your taste preference.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, pizza sauce, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
- Using a spoon, scoop out small portions of the mixture and place them on the prepared baking sheet, forming bite-sized rounds.
Baking
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and the bites are slightly golden.
- Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving. These bites are delightful warm!
Notes
Ensure your cottage cheese is well-drained for a firmer bite. Experiment with other cheeses like cheddar for a different flavor profile. If you prefer a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes to the mixture. For a crispy texture, broil for an additional 1-2 minutes after baking. Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping to enhance the flavors. Keep an eye on the bites while baking to prevent over-browning.
