Dianthus Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I ended up with 2 packages of cottage cheese that were hidden in the fridge and reached their expiration date. I have a bread recipe that uses cottage cheese. Any other recipes where I could use this up (not lasagna)? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carol in Cal. Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 There is that classic ground beef casserole with cottage cheese in it. Where were you in ‘72? 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairfarmhand Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Anything that you’d use buttermilk to make. I dump it in cornbread batter. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It seems so lumpy for muffins. My bread recipe with cottage cheese is a stuffed bread with beef and cabbage inside and a lot of work, so I don't feel like knocking that out today, even though I have cabbage.

I found some cottage cheese muffin recipes. I'm going to try one, and maybe a cookie recipe. I already baked our usual bread this morning so don't really need more bread, though one loaf of cottage cheese dill bread might be nice with the salmon chowder I planned tonight. Yes, I think I'll do one loaf of dill bread, muffins and if anything left I'll try cookies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dianthus Posted April 8, 2022 Author Share Posted April 8, 2022 In the oven: https://www.loveandzest.com/blueberry-cheesecake-muffins-with-oatmeal-streusel-cottage-cheese-gluten-free/ But with regular flour, 2 tsp baking powder, and 1/2 soda and turbinado sugar instead of streusel. And frozen blueberries. On the 2nd rise: https://www.pillsbury.com/recipes/dilly-casserole-bread/09f13299-9889-4990-855f-41d7dd3d6847 But with 1 TBS toasted minced onion, added 1 TBS dill weed too, and I used the microwave to just heat up cottage cheese. No dirty pot. Next thing planned: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/212789/best-ever-rugelach/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She says she trusts me but doesn't trust cottage cheese. I had no idea she no longer liked it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whitestavern Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 In place of ricotta in lasagne or in place of farmers cheese in blintz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KungFuPanda Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 You can mix it with your scrambled eggs. Or freeze it in small amounts and figure it out later. If the work of a whole lasagna is putting you off, do a simpler pasta dish with it like a ziti or lazy lasagna made with ravioli. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carol in Cal. Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 Another 70s recipe: Iceberg lettuce leaf in the bottom of a little individual salad/cereal bowl (bowl shaped, clean leaf.). Then a dollop of cottage cheese. Then a few canned peach slices, with a little of the juice from the can spooned over them afterwards. I stopped there, but my dad would add that reddish orangish salad dressing—Thousand Island I think? I hate that stuff. Anyway, this was not bad, kind of a refreshing side dish. Personally, I like to spread cottage cheese thickly on heavy, dark bread—rye is good, and if you can find pumpernickel it is ideal. Then sprinkle with kosher salt, and chopped fresh chives or scallion tops. Yum! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EKS Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 You can use it in biscuits instead of milk. You can also use it in place of ricotta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mathnerd Posted April 8, 2022 Share Posted April 8, 2022 I make lemon-cottage cheese pancakes. Add water instead of milk, lemon zest, lemon juice. It tastes great! I basically use a lemon-ricotta pancake recipe and substitute cottage cheese for ricotta if that is what I have on hand. I can not tell the difference. chef John’s recipe is what I use. I don’t eat eggs, so I use an egg replacer: https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/257657/lemon-ricotta-pancakes/ 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
