Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for baking the cheese sticks evenly and achieving a golden edge.
- Mix Cheeses: In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and shredded cheese until they are thoroughly mixed, creating a uniform cheese batter.
- Shape Mixture: Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping it into a rectangle for easy cutting after baking.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the edges turn golden brown and the cheese is set.
- Cool and Cut: Remove the baked cheese rectangle from the oven and allow it to cool completely before cutting it into sticks to maintain structural integrity.
Notes
- Feel free to add herbs or spices such as garlic powder, paprika, or Italian seasoning for extra flavor.
- These cheese sticks can be served warm right out of the oven or cold as a tasty snack.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh for up to 3 days.
