Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese blend
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika

Additional

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Parchment paper for baking

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy cleanup.
  2. Mix Ingredients: In a bowl, combine the full-fat cottage cheese, shredded cheddar and mozzarella cheese blend, garlic powder, and paprika. Stir well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated to create a thick, uniform mixture.
  3. Form Chips: Drop small mounds of the cheese mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Use the back of a spoon to flatten each mound slightly, shaping them into chip-like discs for even baking.
  4. Add Olive Oil: Drizzle about a teaspoon of olive oil over each chip. This helps enhance crispiness and adds a subtle richness to the chips once baked.
  5. Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Bake until the chips become golden brown and crispy around the edges.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and let them cool slightly on the baking sheet. Cooling allows them to firm up and achieve the perfect crunch before serving.

Notes

  • Use full-fat cottage cheese for best texture and flavor.
  • Drizzling olive oil is crucial for achieving crispy chips.
  • Flattening the mixture helps the chips bake evenly and crisp up properly.
  • These chips are best eaten fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • Feel free to experiment with other herbs or spices such as chili powder, cumin, or Italian seasoning for different flavors.
