Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to a summery 400°F (200°C). Grab a baking sheet and line it with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, gently combine the cottage cheese, eggs, Italian seasoning, flour, baking powder, and half of the mozzarella cheese. Stir until everything is well blended and looks like a fluffy dough.
- Scoop out about 6 equal portions of the mixture onto your prepared baking sheet. Lightly press each scoop down to create a flat, mini pizza base.

- Pop the baking sheet into the oven and bake for 25 to 28 minutes. You'll know they're ready when they're beautifully golden brown and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Let your delicious pizza bites cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before diving in. Perfect for a quick, healthy summer snack or meal!
