Ingredients

For the basic cottage cheese chips recipe, you’ll need:

    • 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese (the texture works better than low-fat)

    • 2 large eggs

    • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

    • 1/4 teaspoon salt

    • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

For the 5 variations (choose your favorite or try them all!):

Classic Herb:

    • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

    • 1 garlic clove, minced

Spicy Jalapeño:

    • 2 tablespoons finely diced jalapeños

    • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

    • 1/2 teaspoon chili powder

Cheesy Ranch:

    • 1/4 cup additional shredded cheddar

    • 1 tablespoon ranch seasoning mix

Everything Bagel:

    • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning

Sweet Cinnamon:

    • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon

    • 1 packet stevia or 1 tablespoon maple syrup


Instructions

Step 1: Prepare Your Mixture

Drain any excess liquid from your cottage cheese. In a food processor, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy, about 1-2 minutes.

Little chef’s tip: Don’t have a food processor? No problem! You can use an immersion blender or even mash everything together with a fork if your cottage cheese is small curd. The texture might be less smooth, but they’ll still taste amazing!

Step 2: Add Your Flavor Variation

Divide the mixture into portions if you’re making multiple variations. Stir in your chosen seasonings by hand until well incorporated.

My personal confession: I usually end up making at least two variations at once—the Classic Herb for me and the Cheesy Ranch for the kids. It’s like a choose-your-own-adventure snack!

Step 3: Prepare for Baking

Prepare 1 or 2 baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or nonstick silicone mats for easy cleanup. This is NOT the time to skip the lining—trust me, I learned this the hard way after spending 20 minutes scrubbing my baking sheet!

Using a tablespoon, drop small rounds of the mixture onto the prepared sheets, keeping them about 2 inches apart. Flatten each drop slightly with the back of a spoon to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 4: Bake to Crispy Perfection

Bake in a preheated 375°F oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
