Cottage cheese

30 replies

At my grand old age (mid 40s) I have never eaten cottage cheese in my life.
Am trying to up my protein so bought some FF CC at the weekend.
As I wasn't sure if I'd like it, I googled what to do with it where it could be disguised.

I've just had some with scrambled egg for lunch. Google told me to add the CC to the eggs before cooking. But it's taken me about 10 x longer to cook the eggs with the CC in than it would without. Is that normal?!
Should I have added it after I'd cooked the eggs?

What else can I do with it that disguises it? I'm not entirely convinced I like it, but I'm going to try and persevere. I felt this way about Greek yoghurt too and now I quite like it, so I want to stick with it.

Thank you!

I cannot imagine adding it to eggs. Seems like it would make it very sloppy. I have the full fat version with fresh fruit or dried fruit and nuts for breakfast many mornings.

Love CC,
Years ago an exboyfriends mum used to make a pastry base, fill it with CC and 🦐, bloody lovely Grin

With chives or beetroot on top with crackers

Full fat version is so much nicer.

I have it mixed with tuna in a salad or jacket potato, healthier (less fat & cals, more protein, a more natural product) than mixed with mayo

Also made GF cottage cheese pancakes last night - egg, GF oats, cottage cheese, baking powder,cinnamon, vanilla. Makes American style pancakes. Mix was a bit thick and next time I would add a little water or milk but surprisingly tasty

Cottage cheese is great with blueberries
