⏱ Servings & Timing

  • Servings: 6–8 sliders
  • Prep Time: 15 minutes
  • Bake Time: 12–15 minutes
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

🛒 Ingredients

Base

  • 6–8 high-protein sandwich rolls (or low-carb rolls if desired)
  • 1 cup turkey pepperoni slices (or lean chicken pepperoni)
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella (low-fat)
  • 1 cup shredded cheddar (low-fat)
  • ¼ cup Greek yogurt (for creaminess)
  • ¼ cup cottage cheese (blended smooth)

Sauce

  • ½ cup sugar-free marinara sauce (or homemade tomato sauce)
  • 1 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • ½ tsp crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt & pepper to taste

Topping

  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese
  • Fresh parsley (optional)

👩‍🍳 Step-By-Step Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare the Pan

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Grease a baking dish (9×13) or a smaller dish for fewer sliders.

2️⃣ Slice the Rolls

Cut each roll in half horizontally, creating the top and bottom for the sliders. If you’re using high-protein bread, feel free to toast it lightly for a crispier texture.

3️⃣ Make the Pizza Sauce

In a bowl:

Mix:

  • Sugar-free marinara sauce
  • Greek yogurt
  • Cottage cheese
  • Oregano
  • Garlic powder
  • Red pepper flakes

This sauce adds creaminess while increasing protein content. Stir until well combined.

4️⃣ Assemble the Sliders

  • Spread a thin layer of the sauce on the bottom half of each slider roll.
  • Add a slice of turkey pepperoni on each slider.
  • Sprinkle with mozzarella and cheddar cheese.
  • Add another layer of sauce, and top with more mozzarella.

5️⃣ Bake

Top each slider with the roll tops, and place sliders in the baking dish.

Bake for 12–15 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly, and the slider tops are golden.

6️⃣ Add Final Toppings

Sprinkle with Parmesan and fresh parsley before serving.
