Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups small curd cottage cheese (low-fat or full-fat both work well)
- 2 tablespoons Everything Bagel Seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried onion flakes
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives or green onions, finely chopped
- A pinch of cracked black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: Whip the Cottage Cheese – Place the cottage cheese into a food processor or high-speed blender. Blend on high for about 30 to 60 seconds until the mixture is completely smooth and creamy. If you prefer a chunky dip, you can skip this step and leave the curds intact, but whipping it provides a more dip-like experience.
- Step 2: Incorporate the Flavors – Transfer the smooth cottage cheese into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the Everything Bagel Seasoning, garlic powder, dried onion flakes, and lemon juice. Use a spatula to fold the ingredients together until the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the cream.
- Step 3: Garnish and Chill – Top the dip with chopped chives and an extra sprinkle of Everything Bagel Seasoning for a beautiful presentation. For the best flavor, let the dip sit in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes before serving. This allows the dried onion and garlic in the seasoning to soften and infuse into the cheese.
