Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup Cottage Cheese (preferably low-moisture, drained)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
- 1 Egg White
- 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon Paprika or Smoked Paprika
- Pinch of Salt
Instructions
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, grated Parmesan, egg white, garlic powder, black pepper, paprika, and salt. Stir until the mixture is uniform and well combined, with the egg white helping to bind the ingredients together.
- Form the Chips: Using a spoon, drop small dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 1 to 2 inches apart. Flatten each dollop slightly to form thin rounds, keeping them about 1/4 inch thick for optimal crispiness.
- Bake Until Crisp: Bake the chips for 15 to 20 minutes or until they are golden brown and crispy around the edges. Monitor closely during the last few minutes to avoid burning as oven temperatures can vary.
- Cool and Enjoy: Allow the chips to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to help them firm up further. Transfer to a plate and enjoy immediately or store for later use.
Notes
- Use low-moisture cottage cheese or drain excess liquid to prevent soggy chips.
- Flatten each chip evenly and thinly for consistent crispiness.
- Watch the oven carefully during the last few minutes to avoid burning.
- Allow chips to cool completely before storing to maintain crunchiness.
- Experiment with thickness to find your preferred crunch level.
