Cottage Cheese Dip

Nachos with Cottage Cheese Dip

 

Welcome!

In this post, I am sharing an easy recipe for cottage cheese dip.  This dip works well with tortilla chips, baked potatoes, vegetables, and just about anything you can think of.  This dip is budget-friendly since it only uses two ingredients: cottage cheese and cheddar cheese.  

Ingredients:

• 1 cup 4% cottage cheese
• 1/3 cup reduced fat cheddar cheese
• Optional seasonings: salt, pepper, or a seasoning blend

Stovetop Instructions:

• Place 1 cup of cottage cheese in a small saucepan.  
• Warm cheese over Medium heat.  
• Using an immersion blender, blend the cottage cheese until no longer lumpy.  
• Add the cheddar cheese.  
• Stir mixture until cheeses are blended. 

If you don't have an immersion blender, you can make this dip in the microwave.  It tastes just as good.  

Microwave Instructions: 

• Combine both cheeses in a microwave-safe bowl.  
• Microwave mixture for 20 seconds.  
• Stir dip.  
• Continue to microwave mixture for 15 second intervals until dip is warm and cheeses are blended. 

Variations:

• You can use full fat versions of the cheeses for a richer, creamier dip, OR use fat free (or low fat) cheeses for a thinner dip.
