Golden Cheese Bites (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
01 -
1/4 cup almond flour
02 -
1 cup cottage cheese (drained)
03 -
1/4 cup parmesan cheese (grated)
04 -
1/2 teaspoon of paprika
05 -
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
06 -
A pinch of salt
07 -
A little pepper for seasoning
08 -
1 egg, beaten lightly
09 -
A spray of olive oil to grease
# Instructions:
01 -
Turn your oven on to heat up at 200°C (400°F). Put parchment paper on a baking tray, then give it a quick spray of olive oil.
02 -
Throw the cottage cheese, almond flour, parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, and some salt and pepper into a bowl. Stir it all up well until it’s evenly combined.
03 -
Scoop or shape the mixture into small rounds or flat patties using your fingers or a spoon. Dunk each one into the beaten egg to coat nicely.
04 -
Space out the coated pieces on your tray, leaving small gaps between them. Spray olive oil on top for crisp edges and bake for 15-20 minutes. Be sure to turn them halfway so both sides brown evenly.
05 -
Give them a minute or two to cool down, then serve while they’re still warm. Perfect for a quick bite or starter.
# Notes:
01 -
For a crunchy finish, broil them for 1-2 minutes before taking them out.
02 -
Want some extra zest? Stir in fresh chopped herbs like chives or parsley.
03 -
If you’re using an air fryer, cook at 190°C (375°F) for about 8-12 minutes. Don’t forget to toss them midway!

Keep extras in the fridge for up to 3 days in a sealed container.
