Cheesy Cottage Cheese Breadsticks
These Cheesy Cottage Cheese Breadsticks are made with a cottage cheese crust topped with garlic butter and melty mozzarella cheese. They're high-protein, low-carb, and completely gluten-free.
Ingredients
Crust:
- 1 cup cottage cheese drained of excess moisture
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ¼ teaspoon garlic powder
- Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Toppings:
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1 ½ teaspoon minced garlic
- 2 cups shredded mozzarella about 8 oz
- Optional: extra Parmesan, Italian seasoning, black pepper, chopped parsley
- Serve with marinara
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a 9×13 baking pan with parchment paper.
- In a food processor or blender, blend cottage cheese, eggs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and pepper until smooth.
- Spread mixture evenly in the pan. Bake 30–35 minutes until golden and set.
- Mix melted butter with minced garlic and brush over crust.
- Sprinkle mozzarella over crust. Bake or broil until cheese melts (watch closely if broiling to prevent parchment from burning).
- Let cool 5–10 minutes before removing from parchment. Slice into breadsticks and serve with marinara.
Notes
- Drain excess moisture from the cottage cheese. This will help the crust set when baked.
- If broiling, keep a close eye on it! Not only can cheese go quickly from golden to burnt, but parchment paper can burn and catch fire (ask me how I know).
- No food processor or blender? No problem. Just stir the crust ingredients until thoroughly combined.
- Cool before removing from parchment and slicing.
- Store cooled breadsticks in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
