Ingredients
  

Cracker Ingredients
  • 2 cups full-fat cottage cheese 4% milkfat is required for proper blistering
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese acts as an invisible binder
  • 1 tsp coarse sea salt for textural crunch
  • 1/2 tsp cracked black pepper flakes for visual speckling and mild heat
  • 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds for a nutty, aromatic finish
  • 1 tsp avocado oil spray to lightly mist the parchment paper

Equipment

  • 1 High-speed blender Essential for breaking down the curds smoothly.
  • 1 Heavy-Duty Baking Sheet Ensures an even bake without burning.
  • 1 Unbleached Parchment Paper Crucial for preventing the cheese from sticking.

Method
 

Baking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a heavy-duty baking sheet with crinkled unbleached parchment paper. Lightly mist with avocado oil spray.
  2. In a blender, puree the full-fat cottage cheese and grated parmesan for 60 to 90 seconds until completely smooth with no visible curds.
  3. Pour the mixture onto the parchment and use an offset spatula to spread it into an even 1/8-inch (3mm) layer. Score into neat 2-inch (5cm) squares using a pizza cutter.
  4. Generously speckle the surface with coarse sea salt, cracked black pepper flakes, and toasted sesame seeds.
  5. Bake on the center rack for 25 to 30 minutes until the surface is blistered and bubbly, with darkened crispy golden-brown edges.
  6. Slide the parchment onto a rustic wooden cutting board. Let cool completely for 15 to 20 minutes to harden, then snap apart along the scored lines.

Notes

Ensure you use full-fat cottage cheese; low-fat versions will make the crackers chewy instead of crispy.
Allow the crackers to cool completely before storing in an airtight glass container at room temperature.
