🧀 Low Carb Cottage Cheese Patties Recipe
🍽️ Servings: 4–6 | ⏱️ Prep Time: 10 min | 🔥 Cook Time: 10–15 min
🧾 Ingredients:
1 cup full-fat cottage cheese
2 large eggs
½ cup almond flour (or coconut flour for nut-free)
¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp psyllium husk (optional, for texture and binding)
¼ cup chopped fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or dill)
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
Salt & pepper to taste
Oil or butter for frying (avocado oil, ghee, or olive oil)
👩🍳 Instructions:
Drain cottage cheese slightly if very wet.
In a bowl, combine cottage cheese, eggs, almond flour, Parmesan, herbs, and seasonings. Mix until you get a thick, scoopable batter.
If using psyllium husk, stir it in and let the mixture sit for 5 minutes to firm up.
Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Scoop batter into the pan to form small patties (about 2–3 tablespoons each).
Flatten gently with a spatula and cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and set.
Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
🥗 Serving Suggestions:
Serve with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt
Add avocado slices and cherry tomatoes for a light meal
Use as a low-carb “bun” alternative or burger base
🧊 Storage:
Fridge: Store in an airtight container for up to 4 days.
Freezer: Freeze cooked patties between layers of parchment for up to 2 months.
Reheat: Reheat in a skillet or toaster oven until warmed through and crispy.
💡 Tips:
Want more protein? Add a spoonful of unflavored whey or collagen powder.
For crispy edges, use a cast iron skillet and let the patties brown undisturbed before flipping.
Add cooked spinach, chopped zucchini, or shredded cheese for variety.
