Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Dough

In a mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, egg, rice flour, baking powder, and a pinch of salt. Mix well until all ingredients are fully incorporated. The mixture should have a thick consistency.

Once mixed, transfer the dough onto a piece of parchment paper and shape it into a boat-like form. Make sure to create a small cavity for the filling.

Step 2

Bake the Dough

Preheat your oven to 200°C (392°F). Once the oven is ready, place the shaped dough onto a baking tray lined with parchment paper.

Bake the dough for about 15 minutes, or until it is lightly golden.

Step 3

Prepare the Filling

While the dough is baking, prepare the filling by mixing the sour cream and cheese together in a bowl. Adjust the amount of cheese according to your taste preference.

Step 4

Add the Filling

After 15 minutes, remove the baking tray from the oven. Carefully spoon the prepared filling into the cavity of each dough boat.

Return the trays to the oven and bake for an additional 10 minutes to allow the cheese topping to melt and become slightly golden. For an ideal finish, use the convection setting if your oven has this feature.

Step 5

Optional Yolk Addition

Once out of the oven, if desired, you can add a small amount of egg yolk on top of the filling for added richness and color.

Return the boats to the oven for about 3 minutes to allow the yolk to set without overcooking.

Step 6

Serve and Enjoy

After baking, remove the cottage cheese boats from the oven and let them cool slightly. Enjoy these delicious treats warm and savor every bite!

Servings

Imagine whipping up these Cottage Cheese Boats for your next gathering! They’re perfect as a finger food option at parties or family picnics. Serve them warm right off the oven – that magnificent aroma is enough to bring everyone to the table! Pair these savory delights with a fresh salad for a complete meal, or lay them out with colorful dipping sauces to please your guests' varied tastes. If you're feeling creative, consider adding fresh herbs like dill or parsley on top for a burst of flavor! 🌿 Don't forget, garnishing with a sprinkle of cheese or a drizzle of olive oil can elevate them even further. 😋

Faq

What if my dough is too sticky?
If your dough feels sticky, try adding a little more flour until it reaches a workable consistency. Remember to be gentle when mixing!
Can I make these ahead of time?
Yes! You can prepare the boats and filling in advance, then assemble and bake them right before serving. This will keep them fresh!
How can I make the filling more flavorful?
Add spices like garlic powder, onion powder, or even some finely chopped bell peppers for a great flavor boost!
Can I freeze leftovers?
Absolutely! Allow them to cool completely before wrapping them tightly in plastic wrap and placing them in the freezer. They’ll keep for a couple of weeks!
What's the best way to serve these boats?
Warm is best! Serve them fresh out of the oven and consider adding garnishes like fresh herbs or a light salad on the side!
How do I achieve a nicely browned crust?
Using convection mode or adding a yolk on top will help create that beautiful golden hue. Just don’t forget to keep an eye on them!
