Servings 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasonings
- 1 cup marinara sauce
- Pizza toppings of choice
- Toasts or veggies, for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- Add the cottage cheese to the bowl of a food processor and blend until creamy.
- Add the blended cottage cheese to a bowl then stir in 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese and Italian seasonings.
- Spread the cottage cheese on the bottom of a 9-inch skillet or ovenproof baking dish.
- Spread the marinara on top of the cottage cheese mixture then top it with the remaining 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese and your pizza toppings of choice.
- Bake the dip until the cheese is melted,10 to 12 minutes, then switch the oven to “broil” and broil until the cheese turns golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately with toasts or veggies for dipping.
Notes
- You don’t have to blend the cottage cheese, but I prefer the smoother texture and find it’s better for dipping.
- You can make this recipe in one large baking dish or in individual baking dishes.
- While the dip is best when freshly baked, you can prepare the components in advance and assemble just before baking for a quicker turnaround on the day you plan to serve it.
- Pizza dip is best enjoyed hot out of the oven. It's at its peak of cheesy deliciousness when served immediately.
