Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup (256g) whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)
Optional Additions
- Seasonings of your choice (such as garlic powder, paprika, salt, pepper)
- Parmesan cheese for sprinkling
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to ensure it reaches the perfect temperature for baking the chips evenly.
- Mix Cottage Cheese and Seasonings: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole milk small curd cottage cheese with your chosen seasonings, mixing well to evenly distribute the flavors throughout.
- Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and spread the seasoned cottage cheese mixture evenly on top in a thin layer to promote crispiness.
- Add Parmesan Cheese: If desired, sprinkle Parmesan cheese evenly over the cottage cheese layer to add a savory, cheesy crust.
- Bake the Chips: Bake for 25-30 minutes in the preheated oven, monitoring until the chips turn golden brown and crispy on the edges.
- Cool and Serve: Allow the baked cottage cheese layer to cool completely on the baking sheet; this will help it harden sufficiently so it can be broken into crispy chip-sized pieces. Serve as a snack or appetizer.
Notes
- Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Experiment with different seasonings such as smoked paprika, chili powder, or Italian herbs to vary the flavor.
- Ensure the cottage cheese layer is spread thinly for maximum crispiness.
- Let the chips cool completely before breaking to avoid crumbling too much.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crisp texture.
