Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the egg whites and cottage cheese. Whisk until smooth and well combined.
Add the rolled oats, baking powder, garlic powder, dried oregano, dried basil, and salt to the bowl. Stir until all ingredients are thoroughly mixed.
Fold in 1 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese into the batter.
Transfer the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Using a spatula, spread it evenly to form a rectangle about 1/2-inch thick.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese and the remaining 0.5 cup of mozzarella cheese evenly over the top.
Drizzle the olive oil lightly over the cheese-covered mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the cheese on top is bubbly and lightly browned.
Remove from oven and let cool slightly before slicing into breadsticks.
Serve warm as a high-protein snack or side dish, perfect for dipping into marinara sauce or enjoying on its own.
