One of my favorite high protein snacks that also doubles as an absolutely delicious appetizer: this is my lemony garlic whipped cottage cheese dip. The garlic confit is cooked with lots of lemon rind and rosemary and then it gets blended with breakstones cottage cheese, lots of fresh basil and of course more lemon. Drizzle overtop with some of that garlic confit oil and dip with whatever you feel like snacking on– veggies, crackers or a baguette. Super high protein, and so easy to make. When it’s time for a snack break, break better with Breakstones! Full recipe below! #breakstones #cottagecheese #breakforprotein #breakbetter #breakforbreakstones

Recipe:
For the garlic confit:
1 head of garlic (or enough to fill your ramekin) with the skin peeled off
The peeled rind of 1 lemon 
A few sprigs of rosemary
Salt and pepper
Extra virgin olive oil 

The rest:
1 cup Breakstones cottage cheese
About ¼ cup fresh basil 
Confit (see above)
Lemon juice (juice from the lemon above)
Sea salt
Pepper
Red pepper flakes

Step 1: Preheat oven to 250. Using a veggie slicer, peel the rind off of lemon and add to a ramekin. Add a few sprigs of rosemary, and peeled garlic. Cover with enough olive oil to submerge the garlic and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2 hours or until garlic is softened and the oil is bubbly. Let confit cool.

Step 2: Add cottage cheese, confit (reserving a few cloves for topping at the end), basil, lemon, salt and pepper to a food processor and blend until smooth and combined. Season to taste. Add to a shallow bowl, spreading in an even layer. Add a few cloves to the center and top with more fresh basil and nice drizzle of the confit oil. Serve with whatever you feel like snacking on. Enjoy!
