Ingredients
  

For the Cheese Mixture
  • 1 cup Cottage Cheese Creamy base for a gooey center.

Method
 

Step-By-Step Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Blend the cottage cheese until smooth and creamy to create a gooey center.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the blended cottage cheese, mozzarella, egg, almond flour, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt, and mix until combined.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes.
  5. After chilling, form the mixture into uniform sticks, about 3 inches long.
  6. Roll each stick in breadcrumbs and place them on the lined baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 18–20 minutes, flipping halfway through for even crispiness.
  8. Allow sticks to cool slightly before serving with your favorite dipping sauce.
