Instructions

Step 1

Mix Ingredients

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, semolina, and sugar. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined. Make sure there are no lumps in the cottage cheese.

Next, beat the eggs in a separate bowl and add them to the mixture along with the sour cream. Stir everything together until you achieve a smooth consistency.

Step 2

Prepare for Baking

Preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). While the oven is heating up, grease your baking pan to prevent the casserole from sticking. You can use butter or a non-stick spray for this.

Transfer the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking pan, spreading it out evenly.

Step 3

Bake the Casserole

Place the baking pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes. You will notice that the casserole will rise as it bakes.

Once baked, it will firm up as it cools. Don't be alarmed if it settles a bit after you take it out of the oven; that's perfectly normal.

Step 4

Final Touches

After about 20 minutes of cooling time, the casserole will become denser and easier to slice. You can decorate it with fresh fruits or a dusting of powdered sugar if desired.

Serve it warm or chilled, and enjoy your delicious cottage cheese casserole!

Servings

Imagine enjoying this Cottage Cheese Casserole warm from the oven, the delightful aroma filling the air. It pairs wonderfully with a dollop of sour cream or a drizzle of honey for an extra touch of sweetness. 🍯 For a fruity twist, serve it with fresh berries like strawberries or blueberries to brighten it up! 🍓 You can also sprinkle some cinnamon on top before serving to enhance the flavor profile. Your breakfast can now become a gourmet treat! Share it with friends at brunch, or savor it solo. Either way, it’s sure to impress! 🎉🎈

Variations

Gluten-Free Option: Use gluten-free semolina or almond flour as a substitute for the regular semolina. This will keep the casserole deliciously moist while catering to gluten sensitivities! 🌾✨

Vegan Variation: Substitute the eggs with unsweetened applesauce (1 tablespoon per egg) and use a plant-based yogurt for the sour cream. This way, you still get that creamy texture while making it vegan-friendly! 🥑🥥

Faq

  • What if I don’t have semolina at home?

    You can substitute semolina with regular flour, cornstarch, or even quick oats for a different texture.

  • Can I make this in advance?

    Absolutely! You can prepare it the day before and bake it the next morning. Just make sure to store it covered in the fridge.

  • How can I tell when the casserole is done baking?

    The top should be golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center should come out clean.

  • What toppings can I add?

    You can try adding chocolate chips, nuts, or seasonal fruits to the top before baking for an extra treat!

  • Will it lose its texture if stored?

    Yes, the casserole may become a bit denser once cooled. Reheat it in the oven for the best results.

  • Can I freeze the leftovers?

    Yes! Wrap it tightly and store in the freezer for up to a month. Just thaw and reheat when you’re ready to enjoy!
