Ingredients
  

Base Recipe:

  • 2 cups cottage cheese preferably 4% milk fat
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup almond flour or 2 tbsp coconut flour or 1/4 cup all-purpose
  • 1/2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt

Optional Seasoning Blends (Choose One):

  • Savory Classic: 1 tsp garlic powder 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp dried herbs
  • Spicy Kick: 1 tsp paprika 1/4 tsp cayenne, 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • Ranch: 1 tbsp dried dill 1 tsp garlic powder, 1 tsp onion powder, 1/2 tsp parsley
  • Everything Bagel: 2 tbsp everything bagel seasoning

Instructions
 

Step 1 – Prep & Drain:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Line baking sheets with parchment or silicone mats.
  • If cottage cheese is wet, strain for 10 minutes to reduce moisture.

Step 2 – Blend the Base:

  • Blend cottage cheese and eggs in a food processor until smooth (30–45 sec). Transfer to a bowl.

Step 3 – Mix Dry Ingredients:

  • Add Parmesan, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and your chosen seasoning. Mix well to form a thick batter.

Step 4 – Form Chips:

  • Scoop tablespoons of batter onto baking sheets. Flatten into 2–3" rounds using a damp spoon. Leave space between each.

Step 5 – Bake & Crisp:

  • Bake for 15–18 mins until edges are golden. Rotate trays halfway through.
  • Turn off oven, crack door, and leave chips inside for 5–10 mins to dehydrate.

Step 6 – Cool & Store:

  • Let chips cool completely on trays to crisp fully. Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers. Add a paper towel or silica packet to maintain crunch.

Notes

  • Avoid fat-free cottage cheese—it won’t crisp properly.
  • For dairy-free: Use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan.
  • For egg-free: Use flax egg (2 tbsp ground flax + 6 tbsp water).
  • Make them extra crisp by spreading batter thin and drying chips post-bake.
  • Great for meal prep—stays crisp for days if stored properly.
