- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp baking powder
- 1/4 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions

Preheat oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Combine cottage cheese, eggs, mozzarella, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, baking powder, and Italian seasoning in a bowl; mix until smooth.
