Add cottage cheese and egg to a medium bowl and mix until the egg is well combined and the cheese curds break up slightly.

Add flour, dried herbs, and salt, then stir with a spoon or spatula until you get a thick, slightly sticky batter.

Let the batter rest for 3 to 5 minutes so the flour hydrates and the mixture thickens.

Preheat the air fryer to 360°F.

Lightly spray the air fryer basket with cooking spray.

Wet your hands with water, scoop about 1 heaping tablespoon of batter per pizzerinka, and shape into small patties about 1/3 inch thick.

Arrange the patties in a single layer in the basket, leaving a little space between them.

Air fry for 5 to 6 minutes, then gently flip each pizzerinka with a spatula or tongs.

Continue cooking for another 5 to 6 minutes until the pizzerinki are lightly golden on the edges and springy to the touch.

Serve hot, plain or with your favorite dipping sauces.
