Notes
- Helpful Hint: For an extra creamy texture, blend the cottage cheese in a food processor before assembling the dish—it creates a smooth base without the chunky texture of cottage cheese.
- Top Tip: If you prefer to bake your pizza bowl, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), assemble the ingredients in an oven-safe dish, and bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
