Cottage Cheese Chips

 

– light, crispy chips made from baked cottage cheese, perfect for a high-protein, low-carb snack.

Ingredients:

- 1 cup cottage cheese (small curds, drained)

- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder

- ¼ teaspoon onion powder

- ½ teaspoon dried herbs (optional, like thyme or parsley)

- Salt and pepper (to taste)

- Olive oil spray (for baking)

Directions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with olive oil.

2. Prepare the Cottage Cheese:

Drain the cottage cheese well to remove excess moisture. In a bowl, mix the cottage cheese with garlic powder, onion powder, dried herbs (if using), salt, and pepper.

3. Form the Chips:

Using a tablespoon, scoop small mounds of the seasoned cottage cheese onto the prepared baking sheet. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of a spoon to form thin rounds.

4. Bake:

Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chips turn golden-brown and crispy around the edges. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.

5. Cool and Serve:

Let the chips cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes to crisp up further. Serve these crunchy cottage cheese chips as a snack or alongside your favorite dip!

Prep Time: 5 minutes

Cook Time: 15-20 minutes

Serves: 4

Ground Beef Casserole

 I tried this with ricotta instead of cream cheese and Kerrygold Reserve Cheddar instead of mozzarella.  It was good but nothing special.  I used too much parmesan.  Will try again with cream cheese, mozz, and less parm.

1 lb ground beef

8 oz cream cheese

3 eggs 

Grated mozzarella

Grated parmesan

Heat a cast iron skillet.  Brown the ground beef.

Stir in cream cheese.

Beat eggs and pour over the ground beef mixture, spreading evenly over the top, so that all of the ground beef is covered.

Top with grated mozzarella and parmesan.

Bake at 375 degrees for about 25 minutes, until a knife comes out clean.

Boiled Quail Eggs *****

Very difficult to peel but incredibly creamy and delicious!

• Bring a saucepan of water to a boil on high heat. Once the water comes to a rolling boil, turn down the heat and wait for a few seconds until it only bubbles very gently.
• Get your timer ready.  Set it for 2 minutes, 30 seconds.
• Place eggs on a slotted spoon and carefully lower eggs into the gently boiling water. They all need to go into the water at the same time.
• Start the timer immediately.
• Boil them for the allotted time.
• Cool them immediately: Carefully remove them from the water and place them in an ice-water bath so that the cooking process will stop immediately.
