Delight in the warm, gooey combination of cottage cheese, pepperoni, and mozzarella folded into a crispy pocket.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup sliced pepperoni
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 Egg (for egg wash)
- Pasta dough or wraps (alternative for no dough recipe)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure a crispy exterior.
- Combine the cottage cheese, mozzarella cheese, sliced pepperoni, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a mixing bowl. Mix until all ingredients harmoniously blend together.
