- Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat for even cooking.
 
- Mix the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, combine the whole milk small curd cottage cheese with your chosen seasonings. Stir well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
 
- Prepare the baking sheet: Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
 
- Spread the mixture: Evenly spread the cottage cheese mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure to distribute it thinly to help it crisp up properly.
 
- Add cheese topping (optional): If desired, sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the top to add extra flavor and crunch.
 
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chips are golden brown and crisp to the touch.
 
- Cool and serve: Remove from the oven and allow the baked cheese mixture to cool completely. Once cooled, break into chip-sized pieces and serve.

- Store any leftover chips in an airtight container to maintain crispness.
