Soft crepes, creamy cottage cheese, and sweet banana come together in this warm, golden casserole that tastes like a cozy brunch and a dessert at once. A light sour cream custard bakes over the top until it is just set, giving every slice a tender, comforting finish.
Ingredients
- 4 thin crepes
- For the filling: 100 g (1/2 cup) cottage cheese
- 1-2 tbsp sugar
- 80 g (1/3 cup) sour cream
- 1 banana, diced
- For the custard topping: 300 g (1 1/4 cups) sour cream
- 1 egg
- 3 tbsp sugar
Instructions
- For the filling, mix the cottage cheese with sugar and sour cream until smooth.
- Fold in the diced banana. Spread on the crepes and roll them up, tucking in the edges.
- Arrange seam-side down in a buttered baking dish.
- For the topping, whisk the sour cream with the sugar and egg until smooth. Pour over the crepes.
- Bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes, until the topping is set and golden.
Tips
- Use ripe but firm bananas so the filling stays sweet without turning mushy.
- Let the casserole rest for 5 minutes before slicing so the custard firms up cleanly.
