Equipment

• Baking sheet
• Parchment paper
• Oven or microwave
• Spoon or cookie scoop
• Non-stick frying pan (optional for stovetop method)
• Fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth (optional for draining excess liquid)

Ingredients

• 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese (4% milkfat preferred for crunchiness)
• Optional seasonings:
  • Everything bagel seasoning
  • Garlic powder
  • Onion powder
  • Chili powder
  • Dried herbs like rosemary or chives

Instructions

Oven Method

1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with oil.
2. Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese using a fine mesh strainer or cheesecloth to help the chips crisp better.
3. Scoop small mounds of cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet using a spoon or cookie scoop. Flatten each mound with the back of a spoon to form thin rounds (about 0.2 inches thick).
4. Sprinkle your chosen seasonings on top of each round.
5. Bake for 40-50 minutes, checking frequently after 20 minutes to avoid burning. The edges should be dark brown and the centers golden brown.
6. Let the chips cool completely on the baking sheet before serving—they’ll crisp up as they cool.

Microwave Method

1. Line a microwave-safe plate with parchment paper and lightly spray it with oil.
2. Drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese.
3. Spoon small portions of cottage cheese onto the parchment paper and flatten into thin rounds.
4. Microwave on high for 2-3 minutes until golden brown and crispy.
5. Allow chips to cool for several minutes before breaking them into smaller pieces.

Stovetop Method

1. Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat and lightly grease it with oil.
2. Spoon small portions of cottage cheese into the pan and flatten them slightly.
3. Cook until bubbling stops and edges turn golden brown (about 1-2 minutes). Flip carefully and cook for another 30 seconds.
4. Remove from heat and let cool completely.

Recipe Notes

• Use full-fat cottage cheese for best results; higher protein content ensures crunchier chips.
• Flattening the chips thinly is key to achieving crispiness.
• Store leftover chips in an airtight container in the fridge or freezer to maintain their crunch.
• Experiment with flavor variations like sour cream and onion, chili lime, or parmesan cheese.
