1-Ready to get cooking? This recipe for savory cottage cheese egg muffins turned into mini high protein pizzas is super simple and takes about 40 minutes total. Start by preheating your oven to 350°F and lightly greasing a muffin pan to prevent sticking that way, you’ll get a nice, golden bottom on each bite. It’s a breeze for home cooks and busy parents alike, turning everyday ingredients into a delicious meal.

2-In a large bowl, thoroughly combine 1 container (16 oz) of full-fat cottage cheese with 4 eggs until smooth and creamy. For a firmer texture, stick with full-fat cottage cheese; if you prefer smoother consistency, blend the mixture briefly before adding other ingredients. Once mixed, stir in 2 teaspoons of Italian seasoning to infuse that savory flavor we all love.

3-Scoop the mixture into each muffin cup, filling them about three-quarters full to allow room for rising. This step is key for even baking, so use a spoon for accuracy. Bake in the preheated oven for 35 minutes or until the bites are firm and slightly golden. For those following a gluten-free diet, this method keeps things straightforward without any extras.

4-After baking, top each muffin with 1-2 tablespoons of marinara sauce, then sprinkle on 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese. Add your chosen toppings like turkey pepperoni, bell peppers, or even shredded chicken with BBQ sauce for a personalized twist. Broil for about 3 minutes until the cheese melts and bubbles, creating that irresistible pizza-like finish. Let the bites cool in the pan before removing to avoid any breaks perfect for meal prepping ahead.
