Equipment
- Mixing Bowl
- Fork or whisk
- Baking Sheet
- Parchment paper
- Measuring Cups
- Spoon or cookie scoop
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese any fat percentage
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Garlic powder 1/4 teaspoon
- Dried herbs optional
Instructions
- Set your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. This prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Put cottage cheese in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs to the bowl.
- Mix everything together with a fork. Stir until well combined and smooth. Add salt, pepper, or spices if desired.
- Scoop small amounts of the mixture. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Make them into small oval shapes. Space them about 1 inch apart. You should get about 12-15 tots.
- Put the baking sheet in the oven. Bake for 20-25 minutes total.
- Flip them halfway through cooking time. They should turn golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the tots from the oven. Let them cool for 5 minutes. Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce.
Notes
- Use full-fat cottage cheese for better texture.
- It makes the tots more creamy inside.
- Pat the cottage cheese dry if it's watery.
- This helps them hold their shape better.
- Don't skip flipping them during baking.
- Both sides need to get crispy.
- Add shredded cheese for extra flavor boost.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container.
- They last 3-4 days in the fridge.
- Reheat them in the oven for crispiness.
