Ingredients
  

For the Base
  • 1 cup marinara sauce Adds tanginess and flavor; substitute with homemade tomato sauce for a fresher taste.
  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese Provides gooey texture and richness; can use low-fat mozzarella for a lighter version.
  • 1 cup cottage cheese Contributes creaminess and protein; substitute with ricotta for a different texture.
  • 4 large eggs Acts as a binder for structure; ensure they're well beaten to integrate smoothly.
For the Seasoning
  • 1 tsp dried oregano Adds aromatic herbal flavor; fresh oregano can be used for a more vibrant taste; increase quantity if preferred.
  • 1 tsp garlic powder Infuses a savory depth; fresh minced garlic can replace for a more intense flavor.
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil Offers freshness and aroma; dried basil can be used but is less potent; reduce amount accordingly.
For Toppings
  • 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni Introduces additional flavor and richness; turkey or plant-based pepperoni can be healthier alternatives.
