Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 1 cup whole milk small curd cottage cheese (4% milkfat, high protein)
  • 1 large egg, room temperature
  • 2 tablespoons butter, melted and warm Use real butter for the best flavor.
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour Can substitute with almond flour for nuttiness.
  • 1 tablespoon granulated sugar Optional, for a touch of sweet contrast.
  • 1 pinch fine sea salt

Optional Additions

  • 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, finely grated For extra depth and crispness.
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract For dessert-style chips.
  • Seasonings of your choice (e.g., smoked paprika, garlic powder, cinnamon) For added flavor variation.

Instructions
 

Oven Method

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a bowl, whisk the egg until glossy and smooth.
  • Add the cottage cheese, warm melted butter, sugar (if using), and a pinch of salt. Stir until the mixture looks slightly glossy and homogenous.
  • Fold in the flour and Parmesan if using. The batter should be thick enough to hold small dollops.
  • Spoon heaping teaspoons onto the prepared sheet, leaving space between each. Aim for rounds about 1.5 inches wide.
  • Press each mound with the back of a spoon for uniform shapes.
  • Bake for 10 to 14 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the edges are golden and the centers look set.
  • Cool on the tray for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack until crisp.

Microwave Method

  • Prepare a plate with a piece of microwave-safe parchment.
  • Mix the egg, cottage cheese, melted butter, a pinch of salt, and a touch of flour in a small bowl.
  • Spoon small rounds onto the mat, flattening them with the back of a spoon.
  • Microwave on high for 60 to 90 seconds until the top looks firm.
  • Let cool for a minute, then move to a rack.

Notes

For best storage, let chips cool completely on a wire rack before storing in an airtight container with a paper towel to absorb moisture. They can be re-crisped in a warm oven if softened.
