This ultra-creamy cottage cheese snack is blended smooth and swirled with everything bagel seasoning for a tangy, savory, high-protein treat. Perfect for quick snacks, breakfasts, or party dips, it’s endlessly customizable and ready in minutes.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 cups cottage cheese (full-fat or low-fat, small curd preferred)
  • 2 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, finely chopped (optional, for garnish)
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • Salt, to taste (optional, depending on seasoning blend)
  • 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice (optional)

Instructions

  1. Measure out cottage cheese, everything bagel seasoning, Greek yogurt, and chop fresh chives if using. Have salt, pepper, and lemon juice ready.
  2. Add cottage cheese to a food processor or blender. Process on high for 30-45 seconds, scraping down sides as needed, until smooth and creamy. If using a whisk, beat vigorously for 1-2 minutes.
  3. Add Greek yogurt and 1½ tablespoons everything bagel seasoning. Pulse or stir until fully combined. Taste and add salt, pepper, or lemon juice if desired.
  4. Try a spoonful—add the remaining ½ tablespoon seasoning and blend again if you want more flavor. Adjust lemon juice for extra tang.
  5. Spoon the mixture into a serving bowl or mason jar. Sprinkle fresh chives and extra everything bagel seasoning on top for garnish.
  6. Serve immediately or chill for 30 minutes to let flavors meld. If prepping ahead, cover tightly and refrigerate.
  7. Enjoy with crackers, veggie sticks, or spread on toast. Double the batch and portion into jars for snacks all week.

Notes

Blend cottage cheese for a silky texture; add seasoning gradually to avoid over-salting. Use fresh cottage cheese for best results. For a thicker dip, add more cottage cheese or a bit of cream cheese; for a thinner dip, add a splash of milk or extra yogurt. Taste before serving, especially if switching seasoning brands. Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 4 days. Easily adaptable for dairy-free, vegan, or keto diets.
