when I was a student, in the early 80's, a local sandwich bar did a large sandwich - white bap with real butter, cottage cheese and ripe banana. OMG I can still taste it now. Delicious. but it has to be the GOOD cottage cheese like Longley farm, non of the watery shite.

Scoop it out on chocolate digestive biscuits and eat.

I'm sorry, do what now?

I only buy Longley Farm full fat too.

I pre bake jacket potatoes, taking the insides out, mashing the potato with cottage cheese, cheese and black pepper, put it back in the potato skin, top with cheese and freeze. You can cook them in 20 mins once they've defrosted.

Mix with tuna, chopped spring onions and tomatoes with black pepper, and anything else you fancy. Scoop out the insides of a baked potato. Mash everything together and put back in the skins and bake til crispy on top. Add plenty of butter if you aren't worried about the calories.

nigella’s pizza rustica al inglese. From How to be a domestic goddess. We love it. Lots of other ingredients needed though!

WiseUpJanetWeiss · 14/10/2022 16:47

Longley farm is best of course.

There's a great Jamie Oliver butternut squash and spinach lasagne that is delicious and uses cottage cheese instead of bechamel.

fairlygoodmother · 14/10/2022 17:11

I make a frittata with it, mix with eggs/egg whites in blender and then bake with whatever else you like (sauteed onions and peppers, spinach, feta etc). I make it once a week and have it for breakfast most days.

The cottage cheese keeps it moist.

Or just eat it with fruit. I know nothing of langley farm because I live abroad but there are definitely brands that are good to eat by itself and brands that aren’t!

This is surprisingly delicious. You just have to trust the process!!

I regularly used to eat it mixed 50/50 with strawberry yoghurt! It was lovely Smile

carkerpatridge · 14/10/2022 17:15

On a buttered baked potato, sprinkled with black pepper

HoHoHowMuch · 14/10/2022 17:21

Pancakes. Plenty of recipes online. Mix with blitzed oats and egg or mashed banana and some baking powder.

Yes to Longley Farm, it is the only edible cottage cheese.

baked potato with tonnes of butter, salt and LF full fat cottage cheese.

ODFOx · 14/10/2022 17:42

Mix the curds with mushrooms that have been fried in butter with lots of garlic and black pepper.
Use the mixture in lasagne, alternating with layers of roast vegetables and tomato.
You are welcome.

megletthesecond · 14/10/2022 17:45

Bam seriously, cottage cheese on chocolate digestives. Snack of the Gods.

justasking111 · 14/10/2022 17:45

I like to stir in heinz salad cream and eat on ryvita type biscuits

CoffeeMad18 · 14/10/2022 17:47

Have it on toast on top of avocado/guacamole - yum 😋

MaraScottie · 14/10/2022 17:49

Mix it with jelly and set. Makes an amazing desert.

GETTINGLIKEMYMOTHER · 14/10/2022 17:54

Add some finely chopped onion and/or chives and put it in a sandwich.

Picklewicklepickle · 14/10/2022 17:55

Every now and the I buy it thinking it’ll be a nice healthy breakfast/snack then remember how gross it is and throw it in the bin.

Actually there is one nice way to eat it, mixed with some grated cheddar and grilled on toast

TartanGirl1 · 14/10/2022 17:55

Definitely in a baked potato!

AesopsMables · 14/10/2022 18:01

Another Longley Farm vote from me. It's so much better than all the others which are watery tasteless curds.

I love it on toasted rye and topped with Branston pickle or mixed with Marmite in a jacket potato. Or eaten straight out the tub. We get through 4 tubs week in our house as it's filling, healthy and convenient.

Don't bother with the low fat version as full fat is sooo much better.

There is a slimming world recipe for a quiche using cottage cheese

Don't do it, I've never tasted anything more disgusting in my life. The memory of it makes me puke.

TwoMonthsOff · 14/10/2022 18:28

dun1urkin · 14/10/2022 16:23

Depends. Is it Longley Farm full fat? If yes eat out of tub or on toast. If it’s anything else, bin

100% agree Longley Farm is amazing - accept no others !I love the chive one, and they sell it in Home Bargains

DrFoxtrot · 14/10/2022 18:37

I'd only ever had Longley Farm and was later horrified to discover that not all cottage cheese is as gloriously creamy and delicious Envy
