Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour

Toppings

  • 1/2 cup pizza sauce
  • 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

Instructions

  1. Prepare the base mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, and flour. Mix thoroughly until you have a smooth, uniform batter that will hold together when baked.
  2. Fill the mini molds: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Lightly grease mini muffin molds or silicone mini molds and spoon the cottage cheese batter evenly into each mold, filling about 3/4 full.
  3. Bake the base: Place the molds on a baking sheet and bake for 15 to 18 minutes or until the bites are set and lightly golden on top.
  4. Add toppings: Remove the baked bites from the oven and spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each bite. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese on top.
  5. Final bake: Return the molds to the oven and bake for an additional 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  6. Serve: Let the mini pizza bites cool slightly before removing them from the molds. Serve warm as an appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • Use low-fat cottage cheese for a lighter option.
  • You can customize toppings with your favorite pizza additions such as pepperoni, olives, or diced veggies.
  • Ensure molds are well greased to prevent sticking.
  • Serve with extra pizza sauce for dipping if desired.
