Main Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C) to ensure it’s at the perfect temperature for baking your cheese sticks.
- Mix Ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese with 1/2 cup of shredded cheese. Stir them together thoroughly until well blended to form a consistent mixture.
- Form the Rectangle: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto the sheet, shaping it into a neat rectangle to ensure uniform baking and easy cutting later.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges of the rectangle turn golden brown and slightly crisp.
- Cool and Cut: Remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the cheese rectangle to cool completely. Once cooled, cut into sticks of your preferred size to serve.
Notes
- Feel free to add herbs or spices such as garlic powder, paprika, or dried oregano to the mixture for extra flavor.
- These cheese sticks can be enjoyed warm right out of the oven or cold, depending on your preference.
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain freshness for up to 3 days.
