    Mix cottage cheese with eggs and scramble. Add salt, pepper, and green onions or whatever you usually have with your scrambled eggs.

    Add 1 Tbsp (5g) of Hersheys unsweetened special dark cocoa, and Stevia (or sweetener of choice) to taste to one cup (226g) of cottage cheese. I have this just about every day as an afternoon snack! It's delicious, IMO.

    I cannot eat cottage cheese with fruit! I just can't do it. I only eat it savory. I prefer it with chives, garlic, salt, pepper, onion powder, red pepper flakes. Then I put it in the fridge for the flavors to open up a bit. My favorite is to eat it with pita chips, or I'll eat it with just a spoon :-)

    This sounds delicious.

    I sprinkle wth spicy cayanne pepper, diced cucumber.
    Or Sometimes I sprinkle wth dill and add a tsp of chi seeds. I use cottage cheese in place of ricotta in lasagna. & I use plain cottage cheese as salad dressing on occasion. I havnt tried fruit in it yet. Not sure if I could.

    Interesting how versatile cottage cheese is...I have never tried it with cocoa or peanut butter.

    I will dump a cup into a Lean Cusine spaghetti. Or add seasonings, I have an Asian blend that makes cottage cheese delicious. My favorite is to make a "faux" egg salad, mixing it just like egg salad...yummy!

    Cottage cheese and crushed pineapple in it's own juice is yummy. :)

    This is my favorite way to eat it.

    The thoughts of mixing cottage cheese with cocoa or peanut butter are squicking me out!

    My fave is to use it to top a baked sweet potato with a few scallions or chives :)

    Awesome ideas! Going to try some myself. Thanks everyone! I (like another poster) use it in my scrambled eggs. I have also mixed it with plain greek yogurt, green onions and black pepper to put over noodles. Yum! Usually let the flavors blend in the fridge for at least a half hour first though...

    Best thread! Cottage cheese is in my log pretty much every day. I usually put it on top of a toasted cinnamon raisin english muffin or pepperidge farm chocolate chip bread.

    Sriracha and dehydrated minced onions (they onions rehydrate by lunch time) for savory.
    Cinnamon and sugar free dry white chocolate pudding mix for sweet.

    This sounds like it would make excellent dip!
