Cheesy Garlic Protein Bites

Instructions

• • 1. 1️⃣ Preheat & Prepare

       • Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
       • Line a baking sheet or mini muffin tin with parchment paper or cooking spray.

    2. 2️⃣ Mix It Up

       • In a medium bowl, combine mozzarella, Parmesan, ricotta (or cottage cheese), egg, garlic powder, and seasoning.
       • Stir until smooth, thick, and cheesy.

    3. 3️⃣ Shape & Bake

       • Scoop mixture into small mounds on the baking sheet, or press into a mini muffin pan for bite-sized portions.
       • For a “flatbread” version, press into a small pan for thin, crispy bites.
       • Bake 15–18 minutes, until golden and bubbling.

    4. 4️⃣ Cool & Serve

       • Let cool slightly — they’ll firm up as they rest.
       • Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or alongside your favorite meal.
       • ✨ Bonus: They reheat beautifully in the air fryer for that fresh-from-the-oven crunch!

    🔥 Cheesy, garlicky, and oh-so-satisfying — perfect for a bariatric-friendly snack or meal prep treat! 🧄🧀💪
