This cottage cheese bake is the cozy, golden treat every breakfast table deserves. A fluffy, lightly sweet cottage cheese batter gets a creamy sour cream topping and bakes up beautifully golden — high in protein, wonderfully comforting, and just as good warm as it is the next day.
Ingredients
- 1 kg (2.2 lb) cottage cheese
- 2 eggs
- 60 g (1/4 cup) sugar
- 80 g (5 1/2 tbsp) butter
- 60 g (1/4 cup) semolina
- 80 g (1/3 cup) sour cream
Instructions
- Blend everything except the sour cream with a hand blender until smooth.
- Transfer to a buttered baking dish, spread the sour cream over the top and bake in a preheated oven at 220 °C (425 °F) for 30 minutes — keep an eye on your oven.
Tips
- For the smoothest texture, use full-fat cottage cheese and blend it thoroughly until completely smooth. For more dairy-baking inspiration, browse the guides on Serious Eats or the baking recipes on Allrecipes.
- Every oven runs a little differently, so start checking the bake at the 25-minute mark — you want a deep golden top with just a slight jiggle in the center.
