Preheat oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper for even baking and easy removal.

Whisk cottage cheese and egg until smooth, then stir in Parmesan, salt, and optional garlic powder until combined.

Spread the mixture evenly into a ½ inch thick rectangle on the baking sheet, smoothing the surface.

Sprinkle everything seasoning evenly on top and press lightly to help it stick.

Bake for 18 to 22 minutes until edges are golden and the top is set with a light crisp.

Let rest for 5 to 10 minutes so it firms up and slices cleanly.

Cut into squares or strips and serve warm for best texture and flavor.
