Preparation time: 10 minutes
Cooking/baking time: 20 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Ingredients for 6 coins:

• 200 g cottage cheese
• 1 egg (size ML)
• 50 g grated cheese (e.g. Emmental)
• 90 g vegetables (e.g. peppers, zucchini, tomatoes)
• 30 g ground oat flakes (alternatively wheat or spelt flour)
• 1 tsp dried herbs (e.g. Italian herbs, pizza seasoning, herbs of Provence)
• ¼ tsp chili flakes (alternatively paprika powder)
• Salt
• pepper

Preparation:

1. Preparation:
   Preheat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius (400 degrees Fahrenheit) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Wash and dry the vegetables, and cut them into small cubes. They should be very small so the cottage cheese patties hold together well. 90 g of vegetables is equivalent to about 1/4-1/2 a bell pepper and a few slices of zucchini.

Tip: The vegetables shouldn't contain too much liquid. For cottage cheese patties with tomatoes, use the part without the seeds.

2. Grind oat flakes:
   Grind the oat flakes into flour in a blender or alternatively use wheat or spelt flour.
3. Mixing the ingredients:
   Mix all ingredients in a bowl: cottage cheese, egg, grated cheese, ground oats, dried herbs, chili flakes, salt, and pepper. This mixture will be the base for your oven-baked cottage cheese cakes.
4. Shapes of the coins:
   Form the mixture into 6 patties on the baking sheet. Shaping the cottage cheese patties requires a bit of finesse to ensure they are even.
5. Bake:
   Bake the cottage cheese patties in the oven at 200 degrees Celsius for 20 minutes. After about 12 minutes, check if the underside is starting to brown and turn if necessary. If you like, you can add the grill function for the last 3-5 minutes (please stay with the patties!). This will ensure particularly moist cottage cheese patties.

Tips & Variations:

• Adaptations: For variation, you can add other vegetables like spinach or carrots to make cottage cheese patties with herbs and vegetables to your taste.
• Using up leftovers: These vegetarian cottage cheese slices can be easily stored in the refrigerator and are also a delicious snack when cold.
• Seasonal adjustments: In summer, fresh herbs such as basil or chives go perfectly into the mix, making the cottage cheese cakes with fresh herbs even more aromatic.
