Ingredients

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

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and your preferred seasonings. Mix well to blend all the flavors.
Step 3: Using a spoon, drop small portions of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly to allow for spreading.
Step 4: Bake the chips for 15-20 minutes, or until they turn golden brown and become crispy.
Step 5: Remove from the oven and let the chips cool slightly. This will help them crisp up further before serving.

Tips & Variations

Try adding herbs like oregano or paprika to the mix for extra flavor.
Use different types of shredded cheese such as Parmesan for a sharper taste.
Make sure not to overcrowd the baking sheet, so the chips bake evenly and get crispy.

Storage

Store leftover chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days to maintain crispness. Avoid refrigeration as it may cause them to lose crunch. Reheat briefly in a warm oven if desired.

Cheese Mixture

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

For Baking

Olive oil (for lightly greasing the parchment paper, optional)
Parchment paper (for lining the baking sheet)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and aid in crisping.
Prepare Cheese Mixture: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, and your choice of seasonings such as salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well until evenly combined.
Form Chips: Using a spoon, drop small, evenly spaced portions of the cheese mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Make sure to space them apart to allow for spreading and crisping.
Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Bake until the chips turn golden brown and become crispy on the edges.
Cool and Serve: Remove the chips from the oven and allow them to cool slightly on the baking sheet. Cooling helps them firm up and become crunchier. Serve warm or at room temperature.
