- Seasonings of your choice (optional)
- Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Oven Method: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper; spray lightly.
- If desired, drain excess liquid from the cottage cheese.
- Use a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop to place mounds of cottage cheese on the sheet, spacing about 2 inches apart.
- Flatten each mound to about 1/4 inch thick using the back of a spoon.
- Sprinkle seasonings or Parmesan on top, if desired.
- Bake for 40–50 minutes, checking at 20 minutes. Edges should be dark brown and surface golden.
- Cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.
- Microwave Method: Line a microwave-safe plate with parchment paper.
- Spread an even layer of cottage cheese on the plate, season if desired.
- Microwave 2–3 minutes, checking and repeating until golden and slightly crispy.
