Ingredients
  

Crisp Components
  • 24 slices Pepperoni Standard circular deli-style
  • 1/2 cup (115g) Cottage Cheese Full-fat, small curd
  • 1 tsp (1g) Dried Oregano Flaked
  • 1/4 tsp (1g) Garlic Powder For savory depth

Equipment

  • 1 Rimmed Baking Sheet Neutral grey preferred for heat distribution
  • 1 Parchment Paper To prevent sticking and ensure lacy edges
  • 1 Small Cookie Scoop For uniform cottage cheese dollops

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a neutral grey baking sheet with white parchment paper to ensure the crisps don't stick and the cheese edges char correctly.
  2. Place 24 pepperoni slices on the parchment paper in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
Assembly & Baking
  1. Place a thick 1/2 tablespoon dollop of cottage cheese onto the center of each pepperoni slice. Season with a pinch of garlic powder if desired.
  2. Sprinkle dried oregano flakes over the cheese. Bake for 10-12 minutes until the pepperoni curls and the cottage cheese develops bubbly, charred golden-brown edges.
  3. Remove from the oven and let the crisps sit on the baking sheet for 3 minutes to allow the cheese to firm up and become glistening and crunchy.

Notes

Ensure the cottage cheese is not too watery; drain if necessary for a crispier result.
Watch the oven closely in the last 2 minutes to achieve the perfect golden-brown char without burning.
