Ingredients

  • ¾ cup cottage cheese
  • ½ cup plain greek yogurt
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • ½ tsp oregano
  • ½ tsp salt
  • ½ cup + ¼ cup finely shredded mozzarella cheese divided
  • ½ cup + ¼ cup thick cut Italian cheese divided
  • ¾ cup Pizza Sauce I used Rao's
  • 2 tbsp fresh basil finely chopped
  • ½ package Turkey Pepperonis ~20 pieces
  • 2 tsp honey
  • pinch red pepper flakes
Serve with
  • 1 french baguette
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • sea salt

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  2. In a food processor, blend cottage cheese, greek yogurt, italian seasoning, oregano, and salt. Pulse until everything is combined.
  3. Add in ½ cup each of the shredded mozzarella and Italian cheese. Pulse again until combined.
  4. Spread the cheese mixture into a skillet.
  5. Place the pepperoni on top of the cheese mixture.
  6. Spread pizza sauce on top of the cheese/pepperoni mixture.
  7. Sprinkle the remaining ¼ cup of cheese onto the top with more pepperonis. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the cheese is golden brown. Toss in the broiler for 1-2 minutes if needed! Pepperonis and cheese burn very easily.
  8. While the pizza dip bakes, toast the baguette slices. Brush olive oil onto each side with a pinch of salt (or garlic salt if desired). Place on a baking sheet and put in the oven with the skillet. Bake for 16-18 minutes, flipping one time to ensure the slices don’t burn.
  9. Remove the skillet from the oven, top with honey, basil pieces, and red pepper flakes.

Notes

  • This dip is best served fresh from the oven. If you have extra keep it right in the skillet and covering with plastic wrap. When you’re ready to enjoy the leftovers, pop the entire dish back under the broiler for a couple of minutes to reheat and brown the top a bit more.
