Instructions
Step 1
Begin by combining the **cottage cheese**, **eggs**, **sugar**, and **cream or sour cream** in a large mixing bowl.
Use an immersion blender to **puree** the mixture until it is completely smooth and has a creamy consistency.
Step 2
Once the mixture is smooth, gradually fold in the **cornstarch or rice flour**. This will help give the casserole its structure.
Step 3
Grease a baking dish and pour the mixture into it, spreading it evenly. Make sure to use a dish that is at least **24 centimeters (9.5 inches)** in diameter.
Preheat your oven to **170-180°C (340-356°F)** before placing the dish inside.
Step 4
Bake the casserole in the preheated oven for about **20-25 minutes**, or until it is golden brown on top. If you are making a double batch, it may take about **40-50 minutes** to cook through.
Step 5
Once baked, allow the casserole to cool at **room temperature** for a while. Then, refrigerate it overnight to enhance the flavors and texture.
However, if you're feeling impatient, it's perfectly fine to enjoy it shortly after baking!
Servings
Once your delightful curd casserole has baked to perfection and cooled, it’s time to serve! This dish pairs wonderfully with sour cream, condensed milk, or your favorite jam. Imagine your guests’ faces lighting up as they take their first bite—a true breakfast sensation!
Feeling extra fancy? Sprinkle a little citrus zest on top for a zesty twist, or even add some fresh berries for a pop of color 🍓! This casserole is so versatile that you could easily transform it into a brunch centerpiece with just a few simple additions.
Tip: For a cozy ambiance, serve your casserole with warm drinks like tea or coffee. We're talking about the perfect morning moment that everyone will cherish! ☕

Variations
If you're looking for gluten-free options, simply replace the regular flour with gluten-free flour or cornstarch. 🌾 For those pursuing a vegan lifestyle, swap the eggs for flax eggs (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed + 2.5 tablespoons water = 1 egg) and use plant-based cream alternatives!
To enhance flavors, feel free to add your favorite fruits or chopped nuts to the mixture before baking. This way, you not only make it special but also enjoyable for everyone! 🌈
Faq
- Can I use cottage cheese instead of curd?
Absolutely! Just make sure it's well-drained for the best texture.
- How can I tell if the casserole is done?
It should have a beautifully golden top and, if you gently shake the baking dish, the center should be set but still a bit jiggly.
- Can I add other flavors to the casserole?
Definitely! Vanilla, lemon, or orange zest can be wonderful additions. Experiment with what you love!
- What if I want to make it denser?
Reducing the amount of cream or adding an extra egg will create a richer texture.
- How do I store leftovers?
Cover with plastic wrap or transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate. It’s even tastier the next day!
- Can I freeze this casserole?
Yes! Allow it to cool completely before freezing. Just make sure to wrap it tightly!
