PREPARATION

• 1

  Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a small oven-safe baking dish or ramekin with avocado oil spray.

• 2

  In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the cottage cheese, egg, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until the mixture is smooth and well-combined.

• 3

  Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes until the edges are firm and the center is mostly set.

• 4

  Remove the dish from the oven and carefully spread the marinara sauce in an even layer over the cottage cheese base.

• 5

  Sprinkle the shredded mozzarella cheese over the sauce, then layer on the turkey pepperoni, diced green bell peppers, and sliced mushrooms.

• 6

  Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 10 to 12 minutes until the cheese is melted and the pepperoni is slightly crisp.

• 7

  Let the bake cool for 5 minutes, then garnish with dried oregano and red pepper flakes before serving.
