Ingredients
Scale:
1 cup cottage cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 large egg
1/2 cup almond flour
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures your bites will bake evenly and crispy.
In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of cottage cheese, 1 cup of shredded mozzarella, and 1 large egg. Mix until well combined.
Add in 1/2 cup of almond flour, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir until a thick batter forms.
Using a tablespoon, scoop the mixture and form small balls. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Drizzle the balls with 2 tablespoons of olive oil. This will help them crisp up beautifully in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until they are golden brown and firm to the touch. Keep an eye on them to avoid overbaking.
Remove from the oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. This will enhance the cheesy texture.
