This classic cottage cheese casserole is pure comfort — creamy, lightly sweet, and baked until golden on top. With just a handful of simple ingredients, it comes together in minutes and works beautifully for breakfast, dessert, or an afternoon snack. If you loved our Fluffy Cottage Cheese Muffins, this tender baked casserole will feel like an old friend, and Allrecipes has wonderful ideas for serving baked cottage cheese treats.
Ingredients
- 500 g (1.1 lb) cottage cheese, 9% fat
- 4 tbsp sugar
- 4 tbsp semolina
- Pinch of salt
- 2 tbsp sour cream, 20% fat
- 2 eggs
Instructions
- Combine the cottage cheese, sugar, semolina, salt, sour cream, and eggs. Blend with an immersion blender or stir thoroughly until smooth.
- Line a baking dish with parchment paper and pour in the mixture. Bake in a preheated oven at 180C (350F) for 30 minutes.
- Let the casserole cool slightly before slicing so it holds its shape.
Tips
- For the smoothest, most delicate texture, blend the mixture with an immersion blender until completely silky.
- Let the casserole cool for at least 15 minutes before slicing — it firms up as it rests and cuts much more cleanly.
- Serve a warm slice with fresh berries and a spoonful of sour cream, or add it to a dessert spread next to our No-Bake Chocolate Mousse Cake. The USDA notes that dairy foods like cottage cheese are a good source of calcium and protein.
