How to Cook Cottage Cheese Recipes. Cottage cheese is delicious and packed with protein.
But did you know you can incorporate it into all kinds of recipes to add texture and creaminess?
Here are a few ideas to get you started. You will need 3 c. cottage cheese 1/4 tsp. lemon
pepper Assorted vegetables 2 garlic cloves 1/2 c. fresh basil 1 tbsp. nonfat plain yogurt
1 tbsp. olive oil 1/4 c. freshly grated Parmesan cheese Salt and pepper 1/3 c. chopped onion
1/4 c. plus 2 tbsp. unsalted butter, plus more for greasing 3 eggs 6 tbsp. all-purpose
flour Equipment: and food processor. Step 1. Do a dip made of cottage cheese by combining
1/2 cup of the cottage cheese with the lemon pepper. Use any veggies you like as dippers.
Step 2. Make pesto with the cottage cheese. Put the garlic and basil in a food processor
until everything is finely chopped. Add 1 cup of the cottage cheese, the yogurt, olive
oil, Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper and blend until the pesto is smooth and creamy.
Use it as a pasta sauce or a spread for sandwiches. If you use it as a pasta sauce, dilute the
pesto with a spoonful of the water you used to cook the pasta. Step 3. Try a savory pancake.
Cook the onion, 1/8 teaspoon each of salt and pepper, and 2 tablespoons butter in a
skillet over low heat until the onion is golden brown. Transfer everything from the pan to
a bowl and add 1 1/2 cups of cottage cheese, the eggs, flour, 1/4 cup of butter, and salt
and pepper to taste. Then whisk everything to combine. Step 4. Brush a nonstick skillet
with butter and heat it over medium heat. Cook the pancakes by scooping 1/8 cup of the
batter per pancake. Cook each side for one to two minutes, or until the sides are golden
brown. Step 5. Try replacing the ricotta called for in your lasagna recipe with cottage cheese,
for a healthier, lower-cost alternative. Enjoy! Did you know It takes 100 pounds of milk to
make about 15 pounds of cottage cheese.
