- 1 roll refrigerated pizza dough
- 1 cup shredded Italian blend cheese
- 1/2 cup mini pepperoni (or regular pepperoni cut into fourths)
- 1/4 cup small-curd cottage cheese
- 1 tsp minced garlic
- Italian seasoning blend to taste
- About 2 tbsp olive oil
- About 2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
- Jarred marinara sauce (for dipping)
Open and unroll pizza dough onto large flat cutting surface; spread out into rectangle about 1/4″ thick. Cut into 12 equal square/rectangle pieces. Stir shredded and cottage cheeses, garlic, and seasoning blend together in medium-sized bowl until smooth; add pepperoni and stir until evenly distributed. Spoon equal amount (2-3 tbsp) onto each dough square. When all filling has been used, grab corners and sides of each square and pull up to cover filling completely. Place each bomb upside-down in 12-cup muffin pan that has been coated with cooking spray. Drizzle or brush with olive oil and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Bake at 425 (400 for dark pan) for 15-20 minutes or until lightly browned. Serve with warm marinara sauce for dipping

These little “bombs” of cheese, mini pepperoni and Italian spice makes a cold day kind of nice. It makes a great meal.

This looks so tasty, and probably has less calories than a regular pizza. Nice job.
