Introduction

Crunchy cottage cheese chips are a delicious and simple snack that combines creamy cottage cheese with melted cheese and a touch of seasoning. They bake up crispy and golden, perfect for a savory bite without any guilt.

A white plate holds a pile of crispy toasted ravioli pieces, each one square-shaped with crinkled edges and a golden-brown color. The ravioli have a slightly bubbly texture with some areas browned darker from toasting. Small black pepper specks and a light dusting of white grated cheese cover the ravioli, adding detail and texture. The plate sits on a surface with a white marbled texture that softly reflects light.

Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Seasonings: salt, pepper, garlic powder (to taste)
Olive oil (for greasing, if needed)
Parchment paper (for lining the baking sheet)

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Step 2: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and your chosen seasonings. Stir well to mix evenly.
Step 3: Spoon small portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them out so they have room to crisp up individually.
Step 4: Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chips turn golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool slightly on the baking sheet before serving to allow them to firm up and achieve the best crunch.

Tips & Variations

Try adding herbs like chives or paprika to the mixture for extra flavor.
Use a non-stick spray or a light brush of olive oil on the parchment to help with easy removal.
For a sharper flavor, experiment with different cheeses such as Parmesan or smoked gouda.

Storage

Store any leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispness. Reheating in a dry skillet or oven at low heat for a few minutes helps restore the crunch.

How to Serve

A white plate is filled with a pile of golden, crispy baked cheese crackers.

Ingredients

Scale

Cheese Mixture

1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Seasonings: ¼ teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon black pepper, ¼ teaspoon garlic powder (adjust to taste)

Other

Olive oil, for greasing (1 teaspoon)
Parchment paper, for lining the baking sheet

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy removal and prevent sticking.
Prepare the cheese mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese with 1 cup of shredded cheese (either cheddar or mozzarella). Add salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste, then mix until well blended.
Form the chips: Using a spoon, drop small portions of the cheese mixture onto the lined baking sheet, spacing each scoop evenly to allow for spreading and crisping.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Monitor closely until the cheese chips turn a golden brown and achieve a crispy texture.
Cool and serve: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet. This helps them firm up and become crunchy before serving.

Notes

Make sure to space the cheese portions well apart to prevent the chips from merging during baking.
The choice of shredded cheese affects flavor; cheddar offers a sharper taste, while mozzarella provides a milder, stretchier texture.
Feel free to experiment with additional seasonings like paprika, chili powder, or Italian herbs for varied flavor profiles.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container to maintain crispness; reheat briefly in the oven if needed.
This recipe is naturally low-carb, high-protein, and gluten-free.
