What You’ll Use
- Whole Milk Cottage Cheese: Pick out a super-high protein type so your chips turn out extra creamy and crunchy.
- Optional Seasonings:
- Fresh or Dried Herbs: Sprinkle in dill, parsley, or chives for cool flavors or a nice aroma.
- Chili Powder: This gives a cozy, smoky kick to your chips.
- Extra Cheese: Shred your favorite cheese right on top for big flavor.
- Garlic and Onion: Go-to options for extra savory vibes.
- Everything Bagel Mix: Grab one without salt, so you don’t overdo it on the sodium.
How To Make Them
- Let Them Cool: Once they’re out of the oven, leave your chips right on the baking tray until they’re cool. That way, they stay crunchy.
- Time To Bake: Slide the tray into the oven and let the chips cook until they turn deep golden with some crisp, brown edges.
- Season It Up: Go wild with toppings. Sprinkle on chili flakes, herbs, or garlic powder over each disc before baking.
- Flatten Things Out: Use the back of a big spoon or spatula to press every mound down, turning it into a thin chip for better crunch.
- Dole Out The Cheese: Add spoonfuls of cottage cheese onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving plenty of space so they don’t touch.
- Heat Your Oven: Fire up your oven to the suggested temp. Line your baking sheet with parchment so things don’t stick.
Easy Tricks
Pick a cottage cheese that’s got more protein for super crispy chips. Give them time in the oven—the wait pays off. Dark, golden edges mean they’re just right. Try not to make them too thick and keep them all the same size for best results.

Tasty Mixes & Keeping Them Fresh
Mix in your go-to spices for heat, or freshen things up with herbs. More cheese or classic savory spices make every batch new. Store your Cottage Cheese Chips in a sealed container. If they get soft, toss them back in the oven to crisp up. They’ll stay good and crunchy for several days.
Frequently Asked Questions
- → Why pick whole milk cottage cheese?
More protein makes for crunchier results. Best if your cottage cheese has at least 14g protein per half cup.
- → How can I tell when they're ready?
Look for really brown edges and a medium golden top. Darker chips are crunchier, but keep an eye out—they can burn fast.
- → What's with letting them cool all the way?
They get more solid as they cool. Eat them too soon and they’ll break or seem floppy. Just wait about 20 to 30 minutes.
- → What’s the best way to keep them?
Dig in while they're fresh, or stash in the fridge a bit. They soften out if left sitting but you can bake them warm again to get the crunch back.
- → Can I throw some flavor on?
Definitely! Sprinkle on whatever you like before throwing them in the oven—try ranch seasoning, bagel mix, or old-school salt and pepper.
