Cottage cheese uses?

[MotherOfTheGruffalo]

What do you use cottage cheese in?
I would like to use it more in my cooking as it’s high in protein and low in calories. Added it to pasta so far but other ideas would be good!
Thanks!

I don’t use it in cooking but I do have it for breakfast most mornings on a piece of toasted sourdough with cucumber. I can’t stand porridge but this makes me feel full until lunchtime and ups my calcium intake a bit.

I like it as a filling for baked potatoes with butter or on sour dough bread with chopped radishes and spring onions (or chives) on top.

Make the viral tiktok ice cream?

Love it on crackers
I've put it in mash potato too

A Czech colleague of mine bought some homemade cakes in last week with cottage cheese filling. They were delicious!

I attempted the TT cottage cheese chocolate mousse
🤮

We have it with jacket potatoes sprinkled with crispy bacon

Nachos, Flanders style!

I blitz it and use it for a healthier white / cheese sauce in lasagne

It's not really a Homity Pie but it's delicious. Also good the next day fried as potato cakes on a fry up.

Whisk a carton of cc with a carton of eggs (6) to make crustless quiche. I chick in veg and herbs and make them in a muffin pan (even better if you use pancetta/ Serrano ham to line the cases.

When I'm trying to lose weight I make a big chopped up salad and pile cc on top with pickled red cabbage on top of that - it acts like a dressing instead of mayo

I also make a shakshuka (spicy veg stew) which I have for lunch with poached eggs and cottage cheese - really filling and low fat

I add salt, pepper, garlic and a squeeze of lemon juice and use it as a dip for carrot sticks and red pepper slices, it's delicious!

Kolaches 😍 I could do with some now.

I’m about to blend a carton for hidden veg Mac and cheese.

Cottage cheese mixed with mushrooms in garlic butter makes a nice layer for a lasagne.

It goes well added to a traybake for the last 15 minutes so most of the water evaporates off.

On toast, a baked potato or in a sandwich.

Or from a bowl with a sprinkle of black pepper with crudités, or even just a spoon.

I add a good tablespoon to quiche. Really good

I like it with fruit for breakfast, particularly strawberries. It's refreshing, healthy and filling. Might sound odd but it's not dissimilar to having plain yogurt with fruit.

I like it mixed in with couscous and raisins with salad on the side.

I wasn’t aware it was so versatile. I’ve gotten some great ideas from this thread, thanks all!
