Calories 246kcal

500 g cottage cheese
4 eggs
200 g ham strips cooked ham, cut into strips
100 g grated mozzarella – I use Cheasy a Danish reduced-fat brand; any grated mozzarella works
300 g plain flour
2 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp salt
Freshly ground pepper

Blend the cottage cheese and eggs to a smooth cream in a mini chopper or similar.
Pour it into a bowl and fold in the ham and mozzarella.
Add the plain flour, baking powder and salt - season with freshly ground pepper and stir well with a spoon or similar.
Spoon dollops of the mixture onto a baking tray lined with baking parchment, flatten them slightly, spread the tops with pizza sauce and sprinkle with the extra cheese.
Be aware that they spread quite a bit during baking, so they will "bake together a little" if you bake them all on a single tray. They are easy to separate once they have cooled slightly.
Bake in a preheated conventional oven (top and bottom heat) at 200°C for about 22-25 minutes.
Leave them to cool on a wire rack before packing them in an airtight bag and storing in the fridge.
