Crispy, cheesy mini bites with cottage cheese, three easy ingredients, and customizable toppings. Quick to prepare.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base Ingredients

01 - 200 g cottage cheese, well-drained
02 - 1 large egg
03 - 60 g wheat flour

→ Optional Seasoning

04 - 1/4 teaspoon salt
05 - 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
06 - 1/2 teaspoon dried basil
07 - 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

→ Topping

08 - 40 g grated mozzarella cheese

# Steps to Follow:

01 - Preheat the oven to 200°C (top and bottom heat) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
02 - In a mixing bowl, combine cottage cheese, egg, and flour until a slightly thick, sticky batter forms.
03 - Incorporate salt, oregano, basil, and garlic powder to taste. Spoon small mounds of the mixture on the prepared tray, approximately 1 cm thick each.
04 - Evenly sprinkle grated mozzarella over each formed patty.
05 - Bake in the oven for 20–25 minutes, or until golden and edges are lightly crisped.
06 - Allow to cool briefly and serve warm with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as tomato, garlic, or yogurt-based sauce.

# Extra Suggestions:

01 - Ensure cottage cheese is well-drained; if the mixture is too wet, incorporate an extra tablespoon of flour for optimal consistency.
02 - Customize flavor with preferred spices or by adding finely chopped ham, olives, or onions to the base mixture.
03 - For a gluten-free option, substitute wheat flour with a gluten-free alternative.
