How to Make Our Crustless Pizza Bowl
1. Preheat the Oven
Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Build the Base
In an oven-safe bowl, spread 1–2 tablespoons of pizza sauce across the bottom.
3. Add Toppings
Layer your chosen proteins and vegetables evenly over the sauce.
4. Add the Cheese
Sprinkle both the fat-free and low-fat mozzarella evenly on top.
5. Bake
Place bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and lightly golden.
6. Rest and Serve
Let cool for a few minutes before eating — the cheese will set slightly and the flavors deepen.
