Instructions

For your convenience, I have provided a picture of each step so you can understand quickly and easily.

• Step 1: Preheat the oven.

If you want best results, then follow my opinion of preheating your oven to 350°F or 177°C.

• Step 2: Prepare your Baking Sheet.

Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, as you can see below:

 

• Step 3: Scoop up Cottage Cheese.

I will recommend you by using your table spoon cookie scoop, place scoops of cottage cheese onto the prepared sheet. Use a spacing of at least 2 inches between them. Visualization is given:

• Step 4: Make the Scoops Flat.

Flatten each scoop gently to the thickness of 0.25 inches by using the back of your table spoon. Optionally, you can add seasonings and sprinkle lightly.

• Step 5: Baking the Delicious Cottage Cheese Chips.

Bake your cottage chips at least for 30 minutes, if you want a smooth crunchy texture. Be Cautious! That baking time may vary with the oven you use, the brand of cheese that you have choosen, the intensity of oven and how much flat your cheese scoops are. Don’t rely on this exact 30 minutes because it is only an estimate. So if you doesn’t want to ruin your chips and lose their signature crispness, then start observing the progress of your chips firmly at 20 minutes mark after placing them in oven. Bake until the edges of your chips turn dark brown in color. Otherwise your chips would be overbaked.

• Step 6: Cool them Completely.

Take out your chips from the oven and let them to cool completely. It is highly recommended by me to avoid them eating warm as you will not enjoy the genuine taste. In my opinion, 25 to 35 minutes are enough for them to cool and attain a beautiful crunchy texture.

• Step 7: Enjoy!

You can now eat and enjoy your cottage cheese chips , full of nutrients, benefits and proteins.

But Stop for a while, you need to keep in mind:

Making Cottage Cheese Chips are off course easy but below are few tips which can not only enhance your taste experience but you will also avoid from common mistakes to get extraordinary results:

• Prevent Steaming the Chips!

For best outcome, work in a small batch rather than overloading your tray. Too many scoops on a tray may steam rather than crisp.

• Keep your Cottage Chips Crunchy:

You are not willing to eat your chips after they are cooled, never forget to keep them in an airtight jar or bag, otherwise they will lose their signature crunch. Remember that if you keep your chips in open air, the moisture in the air will add to your chips making them soggy or soft and unenjoyable!

• Seasoning:

 Remember that if you allow yourself to enhance the taste then sprinkle about 2 (can be varying with your taste, but after a few experiments, you will find your taste) or slightly more than 2 (2 and half) teaspoons of bagel seasoning.  

Avoid these Mistakes:

If you are preparing cottage crunchy cheese chips for the first time, you may expect high crispness but you may also end up with chewy or rubbery chips disappointedly! If you want your cottage cheese chips crunchy, then avoid low-fat varieties of cottage cheese. Always use whole milk cottage cheese which contains 4% milkfat and 13-14 grams of proteins per ½ cup. Aim for at least usually 40 minutes of  cooking at 350°F but be cautious about overbaking. Finally let them cool completely. By following these, you can land into a satisfying crisp!
