Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (full fat or low fat) Use a fine strainer if too watery
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella or cheddar)
  • 3 to 5 tbsp almond flour or breadcrumbs Adjust for texture
  • to taste salt and pepper Add spices like paprika or garlic powder if desired
Optional Variations
  • dried oregano, basil, and garlic powder For an Italian twist
  • chili flakes and smoked paprika For a spicy version
  • grated parmesan For extra cheesy flavor
  • finely chopped spinach or grated zucchini Add for a veggie boost
  • sesame seeds, poppy seeds, dried onion For an everything bagel vibe

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Stir cottage cheese, egg, shredded cheese, and spices in a bowl.
  2. Add almond flour or breadcrumbs until the mixture is scoopable, not runny.
  3. Let it sit for 5 minutes. If it still feels too wet, add 1 more spoon of flour.
  4. Shape into small flat patties, about the size of your palm.
Cooking
  1. Preheat air fryer to 190 C (375 F) for a couple of minutes.
  2. Place patties on parchment made for air fryers or a lightly greased basket.
  3. Air fry for 10 to 12 minutes, flip gently, then cook for another 5 to 7 minutes until golden.

Notes

Do not crowd the basket while air frying; keep veggies separate for meal prep. For reheating, use air fryer at 175 C (350 F) for about 3 to 5 minutes.
