Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup low-fat or whole milk cottage cheese (small curd works best)
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Everything Bagel seasoning (or 1 teaspoon honey for a sweet version)
Instructions
- Start by choosing a small, oven-safe ramekin or a silicone baking mold that fits comfortably inside your air fryer basket. In a small mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese and the egg. Whisk them together vigorously with a fork until the egg is fully incorporated and the mixture looks uniform. If you prefer a smoother texture, you can quickly pulse the mixture in a blender, but the curds add a nice texture when air-fried. Lightly grease your ramekin with a quick spray of avocado or olive oil.
- Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared ramekin. Sprinkle your chosen seasoning—whether it is the savory Everything Bagel blend or a dash of cinnamon—directly over the top. Place the ramekin into the air fryer basket. Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook for 10 to 12 minutes. You will know it is done when the edges are set and slightly golden brown, and the center has a slight, firm jiggle similar to a cheesecake.
- Carefully remove the hot ramekin from the air fryer using oven mitts or tongs. Let it sit for about two minutes to set completely. You can eat it directly out of the ramekin or run a knife around the edge to pop it onto a plate. Top with fresh herbs like chives for the savory version, or a handful of fresh berries if you went the sweet route. Serve immediately while warm.
