One (or Two) Ingredient Cottage Cheese Chips/Crackers Perfected - Consistent Results Every Time
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 чер 2024
- A while back, The Keto Twins experimented with microwaving cottage cheese to make chips. While I wasn't thrilled with how mine turned out, I was inspired to see if I could create a system of making these chips so that they would turn out perfect every time.
The recipe:
- Preheat oven to 225F (or 107C-110C).
- Using a food processor, process 1 cup (230g) of full fat cottage cheese until it's the consistency of frosting.
- Portion into 12 future crackers on a baking sheet lined with parchment or a silicone mat. This works best with a #50 disher (linked below). Alternatively, use a #100 disher to make 24 crackers.
- Bake for 80 minutes, rotating the baking sheet at the halfway point, then turn off the oven and let the residual heat finish off cooking the crackers for 20 minutes.
Add-ins:
Nut flour or pork rind panko: 1 TB
Keto Chow flavors: 1TB
Cheddar Powder: 1TB or more
Any type of seasoning: start with 1/2 tsp and adjust to your taste

I've had a few people tell me that their chips didn't flatten out. I've asked them what brand of cottage cheese they used and to list the ingredients, but no one has replied. If this recipe doesn't work for you, please reply to this comment with the brand of cottage cheese you used, whether it was full fat, and list the ingredients. It shouldn’t take long to narrow down the culprit.
Some of the brands that don't work are: Member's Mark, Good Culture, Great Value, Prairie Farms, Knudson, and Kroeger. What all of these brands have in common is that they use skim or fat free milk. My hypothesis is that these brands then use more thickening agent (usually guar gum) to offset the thinner milk.
My chips did not flatten. I'm using 4% milkfat, large curd. After reading this comment I checked the ingredients and was a bit surprised: cultured nonfat milk, cream, whey, salt, maltodextrin, guar gum, citric acid, carrageenan, mono and diglycerides, locust bean gum, polysorbate 80, potassium sorbate, flavors, enzyme.
@@jtrichards1231 that’s quite an ingredient list. 😬
For sour cream and cottage cheese I use Daisy, their sour cream is just cultured cream and their cottage cheese is cultured skim milk, cream, and salt. I've found most other brands to use some sort of extender/filler product (guar gum, locust bean gum, carageenan, etc,). There are probably other good brands out there, you just need to check the ingredients.
Fun Facts: if you were a kid in the 80s you'll know guar gum as the key ingredient of toy store slime E.G. Ghostbusters slime, Masters of the Universe Slime Pit, etc.
Mine spread out a bit, but didn't flatten. I used Daisy 4% milkfat. Ingredients: cultured skim milk, cream, salt. They were very crisp, but not as flat as yours.
@@InvisibleAvenger And did your chips flatten out like mine?
I really liked your asking your wife to come in and help. She is so sweet and y’all are a very nice couple! I love the keto ideas with cottage cheese. Great idea! Thank you !
I thought the same thing. They seem like a very nice couple and they seem to love and respect each other. W
Terry is the bestest wife! 🥰
thought the same
Your voice is so easy and engaging to listen to, you should really read for Audible books!!! Thanks for the great recipes and ideas too.
Thank you. 😊
I agree and was just thinking the same thing 🙂
That's a great idea. I listen to audio books and podcasts all the time (truck driver) and Steve has definitely got a great voice for that!
These chips look so good! I think it’s wonderful that you gave credit to the Keto Twins for giving you this idea! That’s class! Thanks for sharing.
Changed the game!!! No almond flour and very low carb and I can make as much as I want!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
exactly my sentiments - no oxalates in my body, and also my oven is sub-functional, so it's perfect that the only thing I can use it, is for is this
I make these and use sesame seeds, dried onion and or everything bagel seasoning to the top and bake. Love em!
Sounds great!
This was great, Steve. I've also been inspired in making these by the wonderful Keto Twins. My method is to mix a 32 oz container of cottage cheese with 1 tsp each of garlic powder, onion powder and black pepper. I use however much I need and put the rest of the seasoned mixture back in the cottage cheese container for next time. I can't wait to try your baked method! Try this seasoning mixture, it's really good.
PS: I make mine by spreading out a thin layer of the seasoned cottage cheese mentioned above onto an air fryer parchment insert, slide it onto a plate and microwave it for 8.5 to 9 minutes. Let it cool and break it apart into 'rustic' pieces. I'm excited to use your method and bake some perfectly round chips. Thanks again!
Can’t wait to try this. I agree, I did not have much luck with the microwave or the frying pan method. Thanks for all you do!
Thanks Steve! I could hear how crunchy they were!😋👍 Have a blessed weekend 💜 🙏 ✌️ 🎄☃️🎶🌞
The extra also seems like it would make a decent salad dressing or dip.
I'm about to try this out! Thanks Steve!
Yay for Keto Twins!! Thanks for trying all those combinations, Steve!
So glad you have added to the Keto Twins version so we can get consistent results. Thank you!
For those of you who are lactose intolerant, the Lactaid bend carries lactose free products for their sour cream and cottage cheese. You can see it at the supermarket in the cold section. Lactaid’s brand color is with blue label on the carton.
I haven't used that brand, so I can't guarantee that the results will be the same.
I checked ingredients when buying my cottage cheese today and noticed quite a few brands add guar gum and other additives besides just cream and salt. I didn't check Lactaid since I bought Daisy which is just cultured cream.
Daisy is the one brand that didn't work for me. I use the micro wave method, so I am not sure if the oven would make a difference. @@robinq5511
So glad someone with cooking skill went to the effort to try & foolproof this recipe. Thank you!
I'll have to give them a try now.👍
Ba-BING! Thanks so much for doing the experiments, Steve! These look promising for a way to tame the "crunch monster"! WTG! Love the Keto Twins! Thanks for being a cook of integrity and giving them the credit for putting this on your radar and then you running with it! ❤
you sir are a keto rock star.
Brilliant! The Keto Twins and you are helping to enhance the sustainability of this way of eating. Bravo! ❤
I sure would have liked to see a little bit of the dehydrator experiment! I have a big one that I’m using more. I tried your chip experiment in it with pepperoni. When I left thin pepperoni in at 158 F for about 6 hours, I got a delightful snack. It seems like a weird universe where we spend our days making crackers out of pepperoni and cottage cheese on YT, but I sure do appreciate you!
me too!
Me three!!
It’s funny how my favorite keto channels all talk about the other ones. The twins come up on almost every one. I wonder why you all don’t get together and start a network. I would definitely watch.
I suspect it's because we are all more into content creation than administrative tasks. If an angel investor and someone who could handle the business aspects (accounting, payroll, publishing, etc.) would come along, I'd totally be for that. Or if America's Test Kitchen wanted to start a keto show...
Love the keto twins. I’m still waiting for a chip that can replace potato chips. If you have one, please let me know. I have some salt and vinegar seasoning just waiting for a good faux potato chip. Have I missed one, I don’t always get online, so it’s easy to miss things. They tried adding instant potato and so did I but I wasn’t taken with the result. Potato chips have always been my addiction, and oh how I miss them. About once every three months I give in and buy a bag and devour the bag. Doesn’t fulfill the need, but it helps, with everything but the guilt.
Bet these would taste good with "Everything But the Bagel" seasoning, oh for dipping guacamole. Thanks for another great recipe video.
I just ran downstairs to whip up some cottage cheese chips after getting inspired by this vid. I'm impatient, so I just used the microwave method. I miraculously had all theses things: the cottage cheese, the ranch powder, the pork panko crumbs, and some pecan flour. No measuring, I put in just a sprinkle of this and that. Stirred it up and put on Silpat rounds . Tasted great, but not as beautiful as Steve's oven baked chips but, hey, they were done by the time the coffee was ready. Thank you Steve for sharing your experiments with us.
Wonder if adding some nutritional yeast to the cheddar powder ones would amp up the cheese flavor? I look forward to trying the pecan, ranch and the pork rind versions soon.
That's a great idea.
Steve, you are my hero! This is exactly the video I've been waiting for you to make for so long, and now here it is. Can't wait to try this out on my own!
Can't wait to try this! And just in time for the holidays! Thank you Steve!
Absolutely awesome, Steve 😊 Thank you!! Can’t wait to try 😊
Love this. Love the Keto Twins as well. Both your channels are a wonderful resource.
Well done. Thanks so much for doing all the work! Never even thought for a sweet version.
I 💜 Keto Twins! fun to the creative journey that they inspired for you!😁
Cool! I love crunchy things, looking forward to trying these! Thanks ❤
Genius! Thanks for all your hard work.
Gotta love Sarah & Emily! And thanks Steve for the great demo... going to head to the grocers now and get some cottage cheese!
Glad to see you and Terri really on the mend! Enjoy the weekend !
this cottage cheese cracker video was WORTH waiting for!😍 I'm excited to try it with your ranch seasoning recipe that I always have ready in my pantry!
Will definitely be trying these!! Thanks so much.
Looks crispity crunchity! Thanks for posting.
Thank you for doing the testing for us! Trying these today with pork rinds ❤
I'm obsessed with Tajin (chili and lime seasoning) and put it on ALL THE THINGS. I might have to experiment and see if it turns out tasty. Thanks Steve! And yes, I just started following the Keto Twins a few weeks ago and they crack me up big time!!
You and Keto Twins are my two consistently watched Keto channels! Love you three!!!
Great job Steve! Love and respect always. Love and respect to the lovely Keto Twins always
Thank you Steve! Can’t wait to try them!❤
I can’t wait to try this! I love Sarah and Emily! Thanks Steve and Terri!
I’ve never been able to make these in my microwave. Steve’s 30-second tortillas don’t come out evenly either so I’m pretty sure the problem is my microwave. So glad to see I can try them in the oven! Thanks Steve for all your efforts 😊
Thanks, Steve! Can’t wait to try this.
Yum. Thanks for the work you put into my New Years Eve charcuterie board 😆
Awesome! I need to try these! Thanks for the recipe!
Steve … these are going on my weekly meal prep! RECIPE/TECHNIQUE of the Year!
what a GREAT video. You have inspired me to try several of these, and to buy your keto chow flavor
Wow! Thank you Steve and Terri!
Very Nice! Thanks Steve! Have a great weekend!
... and now cottage cheese is on my shopping list! Thanks Steve, and Terri, thanks for showing us your reaction too!
Wow! I’m looking forward to trying your method! I didn’t have any success with the microwave method. You’re a genius!
As always, Steve, thank you for e your efforts and perfecting a chip recipe! And, I love the KetoTwins, too❤
I did watch the Keto Twins video on the cottage cheese crackers. Loved seeing the variations.
I’ve never seen chips made with cottage cheese! This is great!! I’m going to try these for Christmas. My non keto daughter’s coming to visit. I’d love to get her thought on these! Thanks again!
Wow....soooo easy. Just what the holiday chaos calls for. Simplify simplify. Thanks Steve! Now have to get my creative juices flowin'...
I like the pork rinds idea!! thank you
Can't wait to try them!
Can't wait to try!
Sounds like a success! Gotta try now
Thanks Steve. These I will try. Cottage cheese going on the grocery list 😊
Thanks for doing the experimenting for us.
I 've made the chips 3 times now, all using Daisy brand full fat. I just used a Macaroon silicone mat & spread them out to the large circle with a spatula. They turned out great, thin & crisp! Thank you!
How have I never seen these? Can’t wait to try!!
Those look fantastic! ❤
These are now on the menu for New Years!
Great post! Love your improvements for more consistent, very thin crispy cottage cheese chip. Can’t wait to dip these into some guacamole.
I inadvertently purchased a store brand of cottage cheese and just started looking for a way to use it other than eating it fresh. Thanks again for all you and your family does! 🎉😊
Oooooo just in time for the Christmas cheese board! Thank yu so much
Thanks for the experimenting Steve. Other videos that I've seen with cottage cheese has inconsistent chips. I like how your version takes care of that problem. It actually doesn't take longer when it comes to time you spend working on it... it's much less... and you can get more at one time. I got some One On One flavors, so this should be a good way to use some of them. I've got a potato flavoring in my collection, so that should make a good potato chip version that's much healthier.
Does the potato flavoring really taste like potato? I tried the corn flavoring and it really does not taste like corn to me.
@@germangirl1509 I haven't tried it yet. I was going to make radish mashed potatoes and add it to that... but I think this recipe would be where I start. I'll let y'all know what I find out.
I
AM
SO
EXCITED
You are the best! Merry Christmas 2024!
0:45 thank you, thank you, thank you, I've tried the Keto twins process and it seemed a lot of work for haphazard resulting chips. You've improved the process and I just tried it with Pork King Good's ranch pork rinds and a tablespoon of their ranch seasoning and they are delicious. Please keep on, I'm going to try it their smoked jalapeño and cheddar seasoning.
Please keep us updated with your successful recipes. 👍🏻
Have only microwaved these, may try in the airfryer. Good reason to get a double oven! Will try with the bread flavors of OOO flavors.
Thank you for answering about ricotta. Saved food and stress.
Though I may have another idea for the ricotta …. Need to do some experimenting. 😉
can't wait to try these!
Good stuff!
Great info!
Can't wait to try your method!
Take a look at the pinned first comment where I asked people to share the brands of cottage cheese that don’t spread out like mine. That may help guide you.
I had made these in the microwave many times and they were great, but time consuming. I just tries them in the oven @325 and followed Keto Twins suggestion to add a tad of potato flakes, but they didn't crisp up. I am so excited to try this. Does ot mater what kind of cottage cheese, other than full fat. Thanks so much Steve.
I've used a couple of brands (both full fat) and it worked out the same.
Sounds great
Nice Job Steve 👨🍳
Perfected for sure!! Thank you, Steve!! I've only made 2 batches so far, both with Everything but the bagel seasoning. YUM! And I love that they stay crisp. My next batch I'm going to just use sea salt.
How much everything seasoning did you use? I found when I did a batch with it, I pretty much just tasted garlic.
@@SeriousKeto I actually forgot to add it before I scooped it so I sprinkled some on top after the first 40 minutes. I wasn't sure it would stick but most of it did.
Your wife is such a good sport! Very sweet to support you.
She seems like a lovely, genuine person 🥰
Big thanks! How about the Real Salt “Chili Lime” or Tajin, then scoop those babies into the salsa. I’m missing the chips and salsa.
I can't say I would put that much time into making chips but it's terrific you have worked it out
It’s like 5 minutes of active time.
Unfortunately, I hadn’t tried lowering the temperature. So glad that works. I’ve tried everything else, including using the food processor, which did help avoid inconsistent thickness, but finally gave up trying to get even baking. Thanks again!
thank you for sharing!
Initially I thought this was going to be more work than I was willing to do, but that big crunch from the pork rinds changed my mind! Would love to have some with fresh made guacamole!
It’s actually about 5 minutes of work. The rest is passive time. And you can absolutely do two trays at once, doubling your output. 🙂
I just eat pork rinds with guacamole. It tastes great together
This is awesome! ❤❤ Can't wait to try it. I did the microwave version after watching keto twins and it was a flop. I couldn't get it crispy without burning the edges and they stuck to the parchment 😢
She is adorable, love the catch! I know it’s off topic but nice to hear nice things merry Christmas to you all
Yum! Thx for this cuz Keto twins recipe didnt turn out for me. Cant wait to try yrs. Merry Christmas to u and Family!!!
Love the video. Wine tasting is my favorite sport too!😉
Must try this.
Okay. I think I will try to make this.
Thank you for this video, Ive got to try this. Your wife is lovely and a good sport .
I have made the ones from the keto twins and it works out really well. Now I’m going to try. Some of yours
PS I love how your cat is walking by when the processor is running ~ it almost appears that he’s sitting on top of motorized board as he is gliding by 😅
Awesome! Thanks so much.
Pretty cool
Wow! These look delicious. Mine in the microwave never worked out.
Definitely a winner
Great idea in time we don't mind using the oven
Great ideas❤😊
Saving this video to make this later. Thanks for sharing! Subbed!! 🙂💜🥗🥩💜
We are currently on carnivore but as soon as we are finished with our 3 months, I cannot wait to go back to keto and try these out! Thanks for the recipe!
