Cottage cheese. What to do with it?

[Illbefinejustbloodyfine]

Other than throw it in the bin🤣

I know some people hate it. I orfered a small pot and have recieved 500g. Its a lot of cottage cheese!

Ive had some on crackers but what else?

YES

Mix a couple of tablespoons cottage cheese with 3 or 4 eggs and whatever veg you have in the fridge (peppers, tomatoes, spinach etc), line a cake tin with a tortilla pour in egg mix and sprinkle grated cheese on top. Makes a nice quick sort of quiche.

I think the nicest cottage cheese is Longley Farm. I sometimes have it on crackers or a salad, but my dogs get a spoonful on their breakfast.

I make it into ice cream.

1 tub cottage cheese
2 bananas
Honey

Blend. freeze.

Btw I make those pancakes regularly and they seem quite wet until they are cooked - just to forewarn you!

Pasta, cottage cheese and bacon. Never known anyone else have this combination but I love it 😂

Ooh I’ve never tried ice cream with it - that’s a good shout

Especially with some crispy bacon too

Thank you OP for the thread and thanks to @teacoffeeorpassthegin I've just made these from the recipe you posted.
They don’t look remotely like bagels, more like dollops, and have spring onions instead of spinach, I also added a big spoon of peanut butter and some nutritional yeast flakes.
Looking forward to them tomorrow at work, I work outside and favour a savoury late breakfast!

This!
On jacket potatoes, on toast, in a quiche, its good in other things too

Thanks for all the ideas! I keep reading about Longley Farm, i will make it my quest to find some.

Also £1.95 at Ocado.

I love it on jacket spud

I eat it with polenta and salt. Yum

Ok image under review… Asda £1.73, Morrison’s £1.79, Waitrose £1.80, Iceland £1.95.

I push it through a fine sieve with the back of a spoon to get rid of the lumps, mix it with whisked eggs and veg, then bake it in muffin trays til golden on top.

Make quick bagels. Way nicer than any store bought versions.

I buy the Langley Farm one with chives spread onto charcoal crackers with capers.

Mixed with eggs it makes a nice lasagne topping, eaten with a spoon straight out, eat it at room temperature not fridge cold

Pile it high on hot toast which is drenched and dripping in butter, put lots of salt on the top

All of the above suggestions are only for full fat cottage cheese, if its low fat or even fat free, throw it in the bin pronto

Sometimes I have it with fruit e.g. blueberries or grapes (in place of yogurt or kefir for a change)
it’s a great breakfast, I love the cool fresh taste. Is it the texture that people don’t like I wonder?

Put it in the bin. Looks curdled to me.

Chuck it in the bin 🤮

I love cottage cheese, but only if it goes on top of something slathered in butter, thus turning something vaguely healthy unhealthy! Carrs table water biscuits a thick layer of butter a glob of cottage cheese and an olive or gherkin on top is my all time favourite!

I dont know why people say this about cottage cheese, as if its some 'diet' food that cant touch 'non diet' (theres no such thing but just for sake of argument) foods

Do we say the same about a lettuce slice or tomato in a burger bun, or some fruit on the side of a chocolate brownie?

Its just cheese, a type of cheese. There are no healthy and unhealthy foods.

3 for £5 in Iceland
