Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup small curd cottage cheese (4% milk fat works best)
- 2 tablespoons Everything Bagel seasoning
- 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra crispiness)
- Freshly cracked black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a large baking sheet with high-quality parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. This step is crucial because cottage cheese will stick to a bare pan. Use a paper towel to lightly pat the top of the cottage cheese in the container if there is excess liquid; this helps the crisps get even crunchier.
- Scoop the cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet in small mounds, using about one tablespoon per crisp. Space them at least two inches apart as they will spread slightly. Use the back of the spoon to flatten each mound into a thin, even circle. Sprinkle a generous amount of Everything Bagel seasoning over each disc. If you are using Parmesan, sprinkle a little on top of each mound now.
- Place the baking sheet in the center rack of the oven. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the edges are deep golden brown and the centers look dry and set. Once finished, remove the tray from the oven and let the crisps cool completely on the pan for at least 10 minutes. They will firm up and become perfectly crunchy as they reach room temperature. Peel them gently off the parchment and enjoy immediately.
