Cottage Cheese Mozzarella Bites
These cottage cheese mozzarella bites are crispy on the outside, soft and cheesy on the inside, and packed with protein. They’re perfect as a snack, appetizer, or even a light meal.
Ingredients:
- 1 cup cottage cheese (drained if watery)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 egg
- 3–4 tbsp flour (or breadcrumbs)
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Oil for frying (or spray for baking/air frying)
Instructions:
- In a bowl, mix cottage cheese, mozzarella, egg, flour, and seasonings until combined.
- Scoop small portions and shape into bite-sized balls.
- For frying: Heat oil in a pan and fry until golden and crispy (about 2–3 minutes per side).
- For air fryer: Air fry at 180°C (350°F) for 8–10 minutes, flipping halfway.
- For baking: Bake at 200°C (400°F) for 15–20 minutes until golden.
Serving ideas:
- Marinara or pizza sauce
- Garlic yogurt dip
- Spicy mayo or chili sauce
If you want, I can tweak this for low-carb, high-protein, or desi-style flavors.
