Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup (256g) whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)

Optional Seasonings

  • Seasonings of your choice (e.g., garlic powder, paprika, black pepper, onion powder, herbs)
  • Parmesan cheese (for sprinkling, optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the cottage cheese chips evenly.
  2. Prepare the Cottage Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole milk small curd cottage cheese with your choice of seasonings. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors throughout the cheese.
  3. Spread on Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Spread the seasoned cottage cheese mixture evenly in a thin layer over the parchment paper to help the chips crisp up well.
  4. Add Parmesan Cheese: If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the top of the cottage cheese layer. This adds an additional cheesy flavor and helps with crispiness.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes. Bake until the edges turn golden brown and the surface is crispy to the touch.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and allow the baked cheese to cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, break into individual chips and serve as a crunchy, flavorful snack.

Notes

  • Ensure the cottage cheese is spread in a thin, even layer to achieve the best crispiness.
  • Experiment with different seasonings such as chili flakes, Italian herbs, or smoked paprika for varied flavors.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
  • Cool completely before breaking to prevent chips from crumbling.
  • Store leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
