Instructions
Step 1
Begin by gently heating the milk in a saucepan until warm. Be careful not to bring it to a boil. Once the milk is warm, add the semolina and stir well.
Allow the mixture to rest for about 10 minutes. This will help the semolina absorb the milk and swell, creating a nice texture for your casserole.
Step 2
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and creamy without any lumps remaining.
Once blended, add the bloated semolina mixture to the cottage cheese blend and mix again in the blender for a few seconds to ensure everything is well combined.
Step 3
Preheat your oven to 180 degrees Celsius (350 degrees Fahrenheit). Grease a baking dish with butter to prevent sticking. Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the greased dish and spread it evenly.
Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 to 50 minutes or until the top is golden brown. Keep an eye on it to ensure it doesn’t overbake.
Step 4
Once baked, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Cut into portions and serve warm. Enjoy your delicious cottage cheese casserole!

Equipment
A good blender or food processor is essential for creaming the cottage cheese and mixing in the other ingredients smoothly. Ensure it's powerful enough to handle dense mixtures!
