The Best Ever Cottage Cheese Recipes (Reader Favorites!)

Cottage cheese recipes have been a massive viral success for a while now, and the trend isn’t showing any signs of disappearing in 2025. I love creating healthy, high protein meals and snacks with cottage cheese, so I’m absolutely here for this simple ingredient getting the coverage it deserves!

That’s exactly why I’ve created this collection of 24 of my favorite cottage cheese recipes for you to try in your kitchen. It includes some of the ideas that have been hugely popular with Slimming Violet readers over the past year, plus a couple of brand new ideas that I’ve been working on that I hope you’ll love. (I’m currently obsessed with the bagels, and I’m tucking into one right now as I write this, after doing a quick and final test before publishing and sharing it with you!) 

Something that I often get asked about these recipes is whether you can taste the cottage cheese. And the honest answer is that in many of them, no, you really can’t. With the waffles, flatbread, muffins, and bagels, for example, you absolutely wouldn’t know that they were made with cottage cheese unless someone told you!

I know that many of us have some pretty unpleasant memories of cottage cheese being a totally joyless diet food from decades gone by, but I promise that these ideas give it a modern makeover, and you might just find that you do really quite like it after all. 

1. Cottage Cheese Waffles

cottage cheese protein waffles

High in protein, super easy to make, and such a good choice for a healthy breakfast or lunch (or a way to sneak some extra goodness into the kids’ diets whilst avoiding some of the questionable ingredients you’ll sometimes find in ready-made waffles from the grocery store), these cottage cheese waffles are a must-try. I like to use a mini waffle maker for these, but you can use whatever you already have at home and just adjust the serving sizes accordingly. Add yogurt and fruit, or your favorite waffle toppings. They’re fluffy, golden, and you can’t taste the cottage cheese!  

Makes: 4 small waffles

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cottage cheese
  • 1 cup oats
  • 3 medium-sized eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp sugar

Method: 

  1. Pre-heat your waffle maker. 
  2. Add all the ingredients to a blender, and blend until smooth (no lumps!)
  3. Spritz the waffle maker with cooking spray, and pour in the batter. Cook until done – this will take around 2-3 minutes depending on your machine.
  4. Repeat the process until you’ve used all the waffle mixture. 

2. Cottage Cheese Egg Salad

This cottage cheese egg salad is a lighter twist on the classic recipe, and it’s a great way to add in an extra serving of protein to help you to reach your diet and wellness goals. The addition of mustard, garlic powder, chives, and paprika adds a punchy kick of flavor, and it’s a fantastic option for sandwiches, adding to salads, spreading on crackers, or enjoying as a snack with veggie sticks. 

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled and chopped
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd recommended)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise

  • Optional garnish: paprika or additional chives

Instructions:

  1. Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and place them in a medium-sized mixing bowl.
  2. Add cottage cheese, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, celery, chives, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl.
  3. Gently fold all the ingredients together until well combined. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  4. Chill for at least 15 minutes to let the flavors meld. Serve on toast, in a wrap, or over a bed of greens. Garnish with paprika or extra chives, if desired.

3. Cottage Cheese Chicken Salad Sandwich

A lighter twist on the classic chicken salad, this recipe swaps out most of the mayo for creamy cottage cheese, giving you a protein-packed and flavorful filling for sandwiches. It’s fresh, tangy, and perfect for lunch. 

Serves: 4

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups cooked chicken, shredded or chopped (rotisserie chicken works great!)
  • 1 cup cottage cheese (small curd recommended)
  • 2 tbsp mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped celery
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped red onion
  • 1/4 cup dried cranberries (optional, for sweetness)
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 slices of whole-grain bread or 4 sandwich rolls
  • Optional toppings: lettuce leaves, sliced tomato

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine chicken, cottage cheese, mayonnaise, celery, red onion, cranberries (if using), Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until fully combined.
  2. Lay out the bread slices or sandwich rolls. Add a layer of lettuce and sliced tomato, if desired. Spoon the chicken salad mixture onto one slice of bread or the bottom half of the roll, then top with the other slice or half.
  3. Cut in half for easier eating and serve immediately. Perfect with a side of chips, fresh fruit, or a simple salad.

4. Cottage Cheese Bagels

These cottage cheese bagels have been a huge viral success over the past year, and it’s hardly surprising – who knew that you could make delicious, high protein bagels at home with just 4 simple ingredients?! I like to load mine with smoked salmon and cream cheese for a protein-packed breakfast or lunch. 

Makes: 4 bagels

Ingredients: 

  • 1 cup cottage cheese
  • 1 cup self-raising flour
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for glaze) 
  • Toppings of your choice: e.g. Everything Bagel, poppy seeds, sesame seeds. 

Method: 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375f, and line a baking tray with baking parchment. 
  2. Add the cottage cheese to a blender or food processor, and blend until smooth. 
  3. Transfer the cottage cheese to a mixing bowl, and add the flour. Mix to combine.
  4. Turn the mixture out on to a floured work surface, and knead 10-12 times. You may need to add a little extra flour to your work space until the dough is no longer sticky. 
  5. Divide the dough into 4 even-sized balls. I like to use kitchen scales to get this super precise! Roll into sausage shapes, around 1″ thick, and pinch together the ends to form a bagel shape. Brush tops with beaten egg and sprinkle over your desired seasoning. 
  6. Place the bagels on the lined baking tray, and bake in the oven for around 25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed up. 
  7. Allow to cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving with filling of your choice. 

5. Cottage Cheese Flatbread Wrap

  5. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C). Bake the flatbread for 30–35 minutes, adjusting the time based on thickness (longer for thicker flatbread, shorter for thinner).

  6. Once the flatbread starts to brown and feels firm to the touch, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely before serving or using.
