Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

• Shredded Cheese: A mix of cheddar or parmesan adds an extra layer of flavor—go bold!
• Spices: Your favorite spices like garlic powder or paprika will elevate these chips to gourmet status!
• Olive Oil: Just a drizzle helps create that golden-brown crispiness we all crave without being overly greasy.
• Salt: A sprinkle enhances flavors; adjust it based on dietary preferences.

Let’s Make it together

Preheat Your Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This ensures your chips achieve that perfect crunch.

Mix It Up: In a large bowl, combine cottage cheese with shredded cheese and spices. The blend should be thick yet spreadable for optimal chip formation.

Spoon It Out: On a lined baking sheet, drop spoonfuls of the mixture about two inches apart. This gives them room to expand while baking.

Bake Until Golden: Slide the baking sheet into your preheated oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes. Keep an eye on them; you want golden edges without burning.

Cool Down Time: Once baked to perfection, let them cool on the sheet for about five minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. They will crisp up even more as they cool!

Enjoy your homemade cottage cheese chips while binge-watching your favorite show or at your next gathering—you’ll be everyone’s new favorite chef!

Perfecting the Cooking Process

Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). Spread the cottage cheese on parchment and bake until crispy, usually about 15-20 minutes, flipping halfway for even cooking.

Add Your Touch

Feel free to customize your Cottage Cheese Chips with spices like paprika or garlic powder. You can also mix in herbs like dill or chives for extra flavor that will impress everyone at your next gathering.

Storing & Reheating
