Ingredients
- 1 heaping cup of cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1/2 cup all purpose flour
- 1 tsp baking powder
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella divided
- 1/2 cup marinara
- Pepperoni or whatever toppings you want optional I used little pieces of salami
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees
- In a large bowl combine cottage cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, baking powder, flour, 1/2 of the mozzarella
- Using a cookie scoop form 9 buns
- Press down slightly (they will expand while cooking)
- Top with marinara, mozzarella & salami
- Bake for 25 minutes
- Let cool and enjoy
- Option to drizzle with hot honey for extra flavour
- Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days in the fridge
Notes
- Make sure you're using a good quality thick cottage cheese. If yours is runny it will make the buns spread out even more while baking. If your cottage cheese is more runny, consider adding another tbsp of flour or trying to strain some of the liquid out.
- Add whatever toppings you'd like. If you add chicken, you can up the protein.
- These buns are a perfect way to sneak in protein into your kids diet.
- A drizzle of hot honey takes this to the next level.
