  • 1/2 cup mini turkey pepperoni slices
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure even baking for your cottage cheese mixture.

  3. Prepare Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking, then pour the cheese mixture evenly into the dish, spreading it out smoothly.

  6. Cool and Serve: Allow the bake to cool for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve warm as a nutritious and satisfying meal or snack.
