In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, beaten eggs, rolled oats, grated cheese, salt, pepper, paprika, and chopped chives. Mix until well combined.

Let the mixture sit for about 5 minutes to allow the oats to absorb some moisture.

Heat a frying pan over medium heat and add a little oil or cooking spray.

Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture and form it into a patty. Place it in the pan.

Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and firm.

Repeat with the remaining mixture, adding more oil as needed.

In a small bowl, mix the yogurt with lemon juice. Stir well to combine.

Serve the cottage cheese patties warm with the yogurt dip on the side.
