Description
I had to give this viral TikTik recipe a try and it did not disappoint! This quick baked cottage cheese pizza dip is a delicious warm snack that’s perfect for entertaining. Cottage cheese packs in the protein with over 25g per cup and the marinara sauce & pepperoni add such a satisfying flavor! Pair it with fresh veggies, crackers or tortilla chips for a boost of filling fiber and you’ve got a balanced and nourishing snack the whole family will love!

Notes
This dip is best served fresh! While it can technically be reheated the cottage cheese does get a bit chunky so I don’t usually plan for leftovers.
