For a greater depth in flavour use ricotta and Fontina cheese instead of mozzarella and cottage cheese. Also, add a bit of finely chopped Proscuitto or Shinchenspek. These ingredients will take this recipe over the top

I substituted one pizza sauce with one can of basil and tomato sauce to give it an extra bit of flavour
