Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese full fat
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 cup marinara sauce or unsweetened tomato sauce/passata
- 1 cup shredded cheese mozzarella, hand-shredded
- 8 slices mini pepperoni
- 2 tablespoons sliced black olives
Instructions
- Lightly spray or brush two 16-ounce ramekins or oven-safe bowls with cooking spray.
- In a bowl, add the cottage cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes and mix well.
- Divide the cottage cheese mixture between the two greased ramekins, spreading it in an even layer. Add 2 tablespoons of marinara sauce to each bowl, then 1/4 cup of shredded cheese. Add the pepperoni and sliced olives, and top with the remaining 1/4 cup of cheese in each.
- Place the ramekins in an air fryer basket, and air fry at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes, or until fully melted, bubbling, and crisp around the edges.
- Remove from the air fryer, let them sit for 5 minutes, top with fresh basil, and serve.
Oven instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Prep the bowls as instructed. Place them in the middle rack of the oven and bake for 15-17 minutes, or until golden brown on top. Let them rest for 5 minutes before serving.
