Cheese Chips Ingredients
- 1 cup (256g) whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)
- Seasonings of your choice (optional, e.g., garlic powder, paprika, black pepper)
- Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it to prevent sticking.
- Prepare Cottage Cheese: If there is excess liquid in the cottage cheese, drain it to prevent sogginess.
- Scoop and Flatten: Using a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop, place mounds of cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet about 2 inches apart. Flatten each mound with the back of a metal spoon until about 1/4 inch thick.
- Season (Optional): Lightly sprinkle your chosen seasonings and Parmesan cheese evenly over the flattened cottage cheese.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-50 minutes, or until the edges turn dark brown and the surfaces become golden brown. Begin checking around the 20-minute mark to avoid burning.
- Cool: Remove from oven and allow the cheese chips to cool completely on the baking sheet to crisp up.
- Microwave Method Preparation: Line a microwave-safe plate with parchment paper. Drain any excess liquid from the cottage cheese if needed.
- Spread Cottage Cheese: Spread an even layer of cottage cheese on the microwave-safe plate.
- Season (Optional): Sprinkle desired seasonings and Parmesan cheese over the cottage cheese.
- Microwave: Microwave the spread for 2-3 minutes. Check the progress and repeat microwaving as needed until chips are crispy.
- Cool: Allow the microwaved cheese chips to cool before serving to enhance crispiness.
Notes
- Draining excess liquid from cottage cheese is crucial for crispy chips.
- Seasonings add flavor but keep them light to avoid overpowering the delicate cheese taste.
- Keep an eye on the chips during baking to prevent burning.
- Microwave times may vary based on your appliance; adjust accordingly.
- Store chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
