Description
Savory baked doughs that combine cottage cheese, spinach, and mozzarella for a deliciously tender texture.
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large egg (or 1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water for vegan)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups baby spinach, finely chopped
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment.
- Whisk the cottage cheese, olive oil, and the egg (or flax “egg”) until mostly smooth.
- Combine flour, baking powder, and salt in another bowl, then stir to distribute leavening.
- Add dry mix to wet and fold gently with a spatula until combined.
- Fold in chopped spinach and shredded mozzarella until evenly distributed.
- Drop 8 equal portions onto the prepared sheet, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, rotating the pan halfway, until edges are golden.
- Cool on a rack for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
If your cottage cheese is very wet, drain lightly to avoid a runny dough. Shredded cheese melts better than chunks for consistent texture.
