Ingredients

  • 1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat your oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. 2In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
  3. 3Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing the scoops about 2 inches apart. Flatten each scoop slightly with the back of the spoon to form thin rounds.
  4. 4Drizzle the olive oil over the chips for added flavor and crispiness.
  5. 5Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the chips are crispy. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  6. 6Remove from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
  7. 7Serve with keto-friendly sides like pork rinds, celery sticks, or cucumber slices for a satisfying snack.

Cottage Cheese Does The Heavy Lifting

A tub of cottage cheese in the fridge means breakfast, lunch, and something to snack on are already half done. Blended smooth or baked until set, it turns into dough, custard, and sauce without any flour.

Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection when they want low-carb food that still feels like real food — a bagel with breakfast, a hot skillet at six o'clock, something sweet after dinner.

Every recipe here leans on that one tub: crispy Cottage Cheese Chips, Fluffy Cottage Cheese Bagels, a Cottage Cheese Garlic Pepper Chicken Skillet, Baked Cottage Cheese and Egg Casserole, Broccoli Cottage Cheese Bake, and Low-Carb Chocolate Cottage Cheese Mousse.

Quick Tips

  1. 1

    Blend it smooth first

    Run the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor for 30 to 60 seconds before mixing doughs and mousse, or you'll get lumps and curds in the finished texture.

  2. 2

    Use full-fat cottage cheese

    Full-fat holds together better in baked dishes like the broccoli bake and casserole; low-fat releases more water and can leave things soupy.

  3. 3

    Bake chips low and slow

    Spread small spoonfuls 2 inches apart on parchment and bake until the edges are deep golden — they crisp up as they cool, not in the oven.

  4. 4

    Drain wet vegetables well

    Press steamed broccoli in a clean towel before folding it into eggs and cottage cheese so the bake sets firm instead of watery.
