1 tsp Italian seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Pinch of salt and pepper

- Stir in mozzarella, most of the mini turkey pepperoni (reserve some for topping), parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until evenly combined.
- Pour the mixture into the prepared dish and smooth the top. Scatter the remaining pepperoni slices on top.

Notes
Add veggies like mushrooms, spinach, or bell peppers for more flavor and nutrition.
Use ricotta instead of cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
Make it vegetarian by omitting or replacing the pepperoni with diced vegetables.
Spice it up with crushed red pepper flakes or spicy sausage.
Freezes well—wrap individual slices and store up to 2 months.
