Ingredients

1 cup cottage cheese
¼ cup cheddar cheese, shredded
2 tbsp Everything Bagel seasoning

Instructions

Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2: Place 1.5 tablespoons of cottage cheese onto the baking sheet and flatten it gently with the back of a spoon into a small, thin round.
Step 3: Sprinkle about 1 teaspoon of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over each flattened cottage cheese portion.
Step 4: Sprinkle Everything Bagel seasoning over each portion to taste.
Step 5: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 to 35 minutes until the edges turn dark brown and crispy.
Step 6: Remove from the oven and allow the chips to cool completely on the baking sheet. They will crisp up as they cool, offering a satisfying crunch.

Tips & Variations

For extra crispiness, try placing the chips under the broiler for 1-2 minutes at the end, but watch closely to avoid burning.
Swap the cheddar for Parmesan or another sharp cheese for a different flavor profile.
Use your favorite seasoning blend instead of Everything Bagel seasoning to customize the taste.
Make sure the cottage cheese is well drained to avoid excess moisture, helping the chips become crispier.

Storage

Store the cooled cottage cheese chips in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days. They are best enjoyed fresh as they may lose crispness over time. To refresh, you can reheat them briefly in a 350°F oven until crunchy again.

How to Serve

A stack of seven uneven, crispy flatbreads sits in the center of a round white plate. Each flatbread layer is golden brown with darker toasted spots and is sprinkled with black and white sesame seeds and small black poppy seeds. The flatbreads have slightly curled and irregular edges, showing a light and airy texture. A few seeds are scattered on the plate around the stack. The plate rests on a white marbled surface with a blurred grey and white striped cloth in the background. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7
