I am so pumped that cottage cheese is finally getting its time to shine! There are so many things to love about it, like its fluffy texture, lightly tangy flavor, and high protein content. It’s delicious spread over toast, stirred into oatmeal, or even melted into scrambled eggs.
Today, I’m sharing some tasty recipes with cottage cheese that will convert even the most stubborn cottage cheese naysayers!
I’ve talked a lot about Greek yogurt being one of my favorite ways to add creaminess and protein to recipes. Cottage cheese is another fave way! Just like with Greek yogurt, cottage cheese can be blended into smoothies or pancake batter, mixed into oatmeal, or just enjoyed in a bowl with your favorite toppings.
It’s incredibly versatile, and a great source of protein, calcium, and potassium. It’s a staple in our household – I love having it on hand!
Cottage cheese is similar to soft cheeses like ricotta and mozzarella. Essentially, it’s cheese curds that are created during the coagulation process when an acid (like vinegar) or live probiotics are added to pasteurized milk. Once the whey (liquid) is separated, the block of protein that is left is sliced into curds and mixed with cream. And that’s the cottage cheese we know and love!
Now, let’s talk about what to actually make with cottage cheese! You can totally just toss it in a bowl with some fruit, nuts/seeds, etc. But if you want to get a little more creative, try one of these tasty breakfast or snack recipes with cottage cheese.
