Description
These bite-sized pizzas pair crisp phyllo cups with gooey mozzarella, creamy cottage cheese, and zesty sauce. Fresh basil tops each golden cup for a burst of herbaceous aroma and flavor.
Ingredients
- 24 mini phyllo cups
- 1 1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup pizza sauce
- 1 1/2 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1 tbsp chopped fresh basil
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°F and arrange the mini phyllo cups on a baking sheet.
- In a medium bowl combine cottage cheese, pizza sauce, mozzarella, Parmesan, oregano, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Spoon about 1 tablespoon of the mixture into each phyllo cup.
- Bake for 12 to 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and the cups are golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let cool for 2 minutes, then sprinkle chopped basil on top before serving.
Notes
- You can use mini pita rounds or wonton wrappers in a muffin tin instead of phyllo cups.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the cheese mixture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a 350°F oven for 5 to 7 minutes or until warmed through.
