CINNAMON SUGAR COTTAGE CHEESE CHIPS 🍫 Cottage cheese chips, have it both ways, sweet and savoury! Try my cinnamon sugar version 😏 Crispy edges, a slightly chewy centre, and perfect dipped in melted chocolate. INGREDIENTS @eat.alterego Cottage cheese Cinnamon sugar Vanilla extract (optional) Melted chocolate — or any dip you fancy METHOD • Preheat your oven to 180°C and line a baking tray with greaseproof paper. • If using vanilla extract, stir it through the cottage cheese first. • Spoon small dollops of cottage cheese onto the tray, leaving space between each one as they’ll spread slightly while baking. • Gently flatten each dollop with the back of a spoon, keeping them slightly thick so they crisp up without burning. • Sprinkle generously with cinnamon sugar. • Bake for 25–40 minutes, until the edges are golden and the centres are set. • Leave to cool on the tray for a few minutes — they’ll crisp up even more as they cool. • Serve with melted chocolate or your favourite dip on the side. Tips: For softer, slightly chewier chips, keep the dollops a little thicker and bake closer to 25–30 minutes. They continue to crisp up as they cool, so avoid overbaking! YUMMM! 💛 #cottagecheese #churro #cottagecheeserecipes #recipe

These 4 ingredient, high protein bagels are SO good they shouldn’t make sense 👀 This recipe makes 4 soft, golden bagels, each packing 10g of protein, with a light, fluffy centre and a golden crust built to handle whatever you load them with. Delivering on both flavour and function, it all comes down to one not-so-secret ingredient…cottage cheese. You’ll need👇 - 200g alterego cottage cheese - 150g self raising flour - 1 egg - Bagel seasoning - Fillings of choice Recipe 👩‍🍳 1. Blend your cottage cheese until smooth. 2. Add to a bowl with the flour. Mix, then get your hands in and bring it together into a dough. 3. Lightly knead until smooth, then split into 4. 4. Roll into balls, push a hole through the middle and stretch into bagel shapes. (Bigger hole than you think, trust us.) 5. Beat the egg, brush over your bagels, then go in with the seasoning. 6. Air fry at 180°C for around 9 minutes until golden. 7. Slice, load up your fillings and thank us later. Top tip💡 Too sticky? Add a little more flour, and remember, they rise, so don’t be shy with that centre hole!

There are two types of people: those who eat cottage cheese, and those who haven’t caught on yet 👀 Some of you keep it simple. Some of you are here for the macros. Some of you are putting it in things that shouldn’t work… but do. Either way, it always ends the same: better than it has any right to be. 😏😮‍💨

Cottage cheese: it’s what dreams are made of 🙌 In a confusingly good world of function and flavour, it earns its place in every recipe, sweet or savoury, indulgent or healthy. Finally, it’s time to have it both ways.

Cottage cheese and toast: a serious staple with endless possibilities. Week 4/4, and this recipe is one not to be missed. Layer your cottage cheese with cherry tomatoes and spring onions for a properly smug upgrade on a classic cheese melt. Golden, gooey, and just a little bit superior. Exactly as intended. Thanks to the legend @photosbymclean for making it look as good as it tastes. 🙌💛😮‍💨
