Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup (240 ml) marinara sauce
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni or any preferred toppings

Instructions

  1. Prepare Ingredients. Gather and assemble all ingredients on your countertop to ensure smooth preparation.
  2. Mix Wet Ingredients. In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, and marinara sauce, whisking until the mixture is creamy and smooth.
  3. Add Cheese and Seasonings. Gently fold in shredded mozzarella cheese, dried oregano, garlic powder, and chopped fresh basil to evenly distribute flavors.
  4. Preheat Oven. Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the pizza pie.
  5. Prepare Baking Dish. Grease a pie pan or oven-safe skillet lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking and promote even cooking.
  6. Pour Mixture. Pour the cheese and egg mixture into the prepared pan, spreading it evenly for uniform thickness.
  7. Add Toppings. Top the mixture with sliced pepperoni or your choice of preferred toppings to add texture and flavor.
  8. Bake. Place in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes until the top turns golden brown and the filling is bubbly and set.
  9. Cool. Remove from the oven and allow the pizza pie to cool for about 10 minutes to set further and become easier to slice.
  10. Serve. Cut into wedges using a sharp knife and serve warm, pairing beautifully with a fresh salad or dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Substitute pepperoni with other toppings such as sautéed vegetables or cooked sausage for variation.
  • For a vegetarian option, omit pepperoni and add extra vegetables or plant-based toppings.
  • Ensure the eggs are fully cooked and the pie is set before removing from the oven to maintain structure.
  • This crustless pie is ideal for gluten-free, low-carb, and high-protein diets.
  • Allowing the pie to cool slightly helps in slicing neat wedges.
