How do you eat your cottage cheese?

Jams009

I just realised I've never thought of cottage cheese as anything other than savoury... having it with fruit sounds odd to me. I'll give it a go though.

Pepper. Loads and loads of ground black pepper.

I love it plain. I never add anything to it, but if I did it would be savory. I like it on the side with a savory meal and if it mixes a bit with my omelet or vegetables or potatoes, that's tasty.

i don't like savory.
i love it with strawberry jam

call3na

I serve it with: baked sweet potatoes; quinoa & roasted veg; mixed beans & sausage casserole; with salad...

Never tried it in a sweet version!

That's what i thought... unless cottage cheese taste way different than how i'm imagining it?

I'll try it both ways, i guess. I'll buy the cottage cheese with the "fruit flips" and see which, or if, i even like it.

Thanks everyone for the replies by the way!!

With pork rinds and black pepper, or with some SF preserves mixed in.

LushFix

Freeze dried dill and chives.

Well... i'm actually sitting here eating some now. And i have to admit, i don't exactly hate it. The texture is extremely weird though. Though i'm not liking it with fruit. Definitely a savory thing for me. I would love to try it with some veggies! Or some toast. Next time

In place of mayo in salad - with chicken, tomato and green leaves

I use it as the base for salad dressing, for example, 56 g cottage cheese, 1 t olive oil, and a little mustard. Did that yesterday for a salad with ham and swiss. Today's salad will be turkey and cheddar, so I think I will mix the cottage cheese with some whole berry cranberry sauce.

When I have about 200 calories left for a bedtime snack, I mix cottage cheese with 4 ounces of applesauce.

My favorite is to toast an English muffin, place sliced tomato on top, cover in cottage cheese and sprinkle with black pepper. I eat it as an open faced sandwich and it's awesome.

Cynsonya

With most any fruit and salted. Or with fresh tomato and salt.

I like it mixed with sugar free strawberry jello mix and crushed pineapple.

shadowlike

Mixed with scoop of whey (chocolate peanut butter is awesome), 20-30 grams of some cereal and finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon is one of my basic meals. I also use a low-fat version, so if I want my fats higher I can mix in some peanut butter.

rkit03

I like it with fruits like grapes, mangoes, and strawberries.

kvbart

I top mine with crunchy almond butter or mixed in with a can of tuna and a squirt of dijon mustard.

With fruits, berries or in a salad. Banana, cinnamon and CC is a favourite. With half frozen strawberries it almost tastes like rice pudding. And I have recently started making scrambled eggs with it, mixing half'n half. We also make small pancakes with cottage cheese.
You can also mix it with a bit of greek yoghurt, add some agave syrup or vanilla seeds, and have it as a dessert with fruit when you have cravings for something sweet. The possibilities are endless

coalz

Pineapple & crushed macadamian nuts

AMRROL

In a cake, baked with a graham cracker crust with lots of whipped cream on top.

ericatoday

I either buy the cottage cheese doubles with strawberry. Or i eat it with sliced strawberries or drizzled with honey and a piece of toast. My mom loved eating it with salt and pepper. Fruit, honey, toast and crackers would be good. Its your choice. Its very versatile. I love it plain too its amazing.

davidjohnbriggs

Mixed with chives and black pepper on top of a jacket potatoe + side salad + sometimes baked beans

Serah87

With a spoon, sometimes a fork.

fishshark

so far just plain with a little pepper. Havent loved the store bought fruit ones. Going to try pico today.

mrspaws91

I like both sweet and savory:
plain, with black pepper
with chopped apples and cinnamon
with pineapple
with sliced green onion and black pepper
on any mixed green salad
as part of a salad with peaches and french dressing
with tomatoes
with broccoli, onion and red pepper in an omelet
instead of ricotta cheese in pasta dishes

MlleKelly

With a spoon, from the container

r5d5

I like mixing it with greek yogurt, plain or vanilla!

rosecropper

In a blender with artichoke hearts, garlic & red chili flakes. Makes a fine dip for veg or crackers.
Or blended with salsa verde as a dip for tortilla chips or topping for enchiladas.

emstewart95

On a rice cake or with a ryvita

llbrixon

Cottage cheese and peaches. I have to try the cottage cheese and fresh garden tomato slices!
