Cottage cheese recipes

11 recipes

Here are my recipes with cottage cheese — syrniki, casseroles, vatrushkas and other baking. A good place to start is vatrushka with cottage cheese, which I have adored since childhood, or cottage cheese casserole with semolina and orange zest.

How I cook with cottage cheese

For syrniki the cottage cheese should be fresh and firm, “dry” — that is how I make the best syrniki, ready in 40 minutes. For vanilla syrniki I choose low-fat cottage cheese with a grainy texture. The quickest dish here is lazy vareniki: the filling is mixed right into the dough, 20 minutes.

If you want to bake

Royal vatrushka on shortcrust with a filling of cottage cheese, sour cream and eggs, a cottage cheese cake with raisins and cottage cheese cookies.
