Cottage Cheese Mix-Ins?

brittanystebbins95

What are your favorite ways to eat cottage cheese?
I've recently rediscovered my love of it (thank you, pregnancy cravings) and am looking for different ways to eat it.

Some that I have tried and loved:
with fruit/honey mixed in
A little bit of jam or jelly (tastes like really rich cheesecake, in a way)
Chili powder
Cavender's Greek seasoning
Black pepper
Spread on top of tomato slices with one of the three seasonings above

From the Centr "cook book" - Mix with tahini and honey. Put on toast. Top with banana and nuts.

I made a tomato onion jam the other day and have mixed that with cottage cheese to have on toast.

Growing up, I like canned pears in it and I'd still eat it that way. Canned peaches would be good too. My husband uses cottage cheese in lasagna the way some people use ricotta cheese.

I love cottage cheese and fruit (maybe just a little crushed ice) in the blender. Cheesecake pudding.

For volume when I’m really hungry, some crumbled bacon or sausage, onions, peppers, 1 egg, 2 or 3 egg whites, 1/2 cup cottage cheese scrambled makes a huge meal for 400 or so calories that keeps me full for hours.

Drained cottage cheese mixed with a little vanilla, sweetener if you like, on toast, in oven until cheese melts, fresh fruit on top.

I haven’t tried it yet, but been thinking about bacon, tomato, cottage cheese on toast, melted. Doesn’t that sound good?

Cottage cheese on baked potato with baked beans on top....may sound strange but super delicious and filling.

Cottage cheese on a piece of toast, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with cinnamon. I love that stuff 😬
I also like to cook omelets and then put cottage cheese in the fold. Tried it in oatmeal yesterday and liked that too

I am planning to make mac and cheese where the base of cheese sauce is cottage cheese blitzed in the food processor, thinned down with milk if needed. The cheese sauce will include grated mature cheddar to bake with the macaroni.

I particularly like chopped spring onions, cherry tomatoes, a few crushed Doritos and a good splash of Tabasco. 😋

Also, chopped hard boiled egg and cucumber - makes a really good egg mayo substitute!

Sriracha and dried onions
Sugar free jello powder

Chunky Salsa.

Tabouleh.

I like mine with a tablespoon of honey and tablespoon of cocoa

AngryViking1970

Lots of black pepper and those crunchy chow mein noodles.

I love it with pears or frozen blueberries. Also like pepper and boiled eggs on top of cottage cheese.

Jelaan

Quarter cup of oats, quarter cup of cottage cheese, 1 egg, sweetener (I don't usually put it in mine), sometimes cinnamon - mixed with a spoon or blender, then fried in a pan with a little cooking spray. Makes a decent sized pancake for breakfast, and very tasty and filling with low cal syrup.

I always just cut up a banana and a cutie (mandarin orange)

rheddmobile

A1 steak sauce. Or Mrs Renfro’s green salsa, which isn’t really like green salsa but is straight up puréed jalapeño.

Fresh dill.
Other fresh herbs would probably work too.

kosseychick

Lemon pepper seasoning, chopped red onion, tomato and cucumber

So I made the mac and cheese with the sauce base of 0% fat cottage cheese blitzed in the food processor thinned down with milk to a bechamel consistency and mixed with grated hard cheese and seasonings for flavour. Not as deliciously rich as a traditional mac and cheese based on bechamel but enjoyably lighter and less stodgy.
Next time I will use a wider thinner casserole dish because the crunchy topping of grated parmesan and buttered breadcrumbs were the star of the show.

A favorite low carb breakfast of mine is cottage cheese topped with an oz of salted peanuts, with coffee or tea.

Oh man I would love a tomato onion jam recipe! That sounds delicious!

another one that may sound strange, but I think is delicious.

Cottage cheese mixed with tuna and avocado..mix in some Frank's Red Hot and a little bit of Soy sauce. yum!

I always loved the Hungarian cottage cheese spread.
This is my recipe on how to make it:
200 grams of cottage cheese (most common is made from cow’s milk, but if you find one from sheep’s milk - it will blow your mind)
Half of an onion (young white onion or 1 shallot) – finely diced
1 teaspoon of sweet red paprika powder,
1 level teaspoon of fennel seeds
1 good tablespoon of sour cream
Salt to taste

Some people put spicy paprika, and some put butter - I don't find it necessary, but you do you

I love to make a bowl of veggies and crackers and dips with it!

Slice of toast, avacado, cottage cheese, slice of tomato, salt & pepper....DELISHISH

CobaltTurtle2

As faux lasagna dip-- cottage cheese, a little tomato paste (I'm using the sort from a tube), garlic, basil, oregano, mixed, then top with red pepper flakes, and either Parmesan or Romano cheese, heat through.

avtlove

Pumpkin seeds (pepitas), dry roasted chick peas, cherry tomatoes, salt and pepper. I like to make it crunchy.

ksushyguy

I blend it with ranch seasoning to make a veggie dip (thinned with water or milk it becomes ranch dressing). For breakfast I'll blend together equal parts (by volume) of egg whites, rolled oats, and cottage cheese with a pinch of salt, a little vanilla extract and some cinnamon to make waffles or pancakes.

Mix 2/3 cottage cheese with 1/3 (or more) of your favorite greek yogurt. Sometimes I add a few blueberries....Yummy.

This is gonna sound really weird, but it totally works, delicious and I love it!
You can mix things in to make a soup (it will end up with texture, kinda think and chunky but not real chunky.. you'll still be able to have some of the texture of cottage cheese, just not all the texture (if that makes sense) which I adore 'cause it makes the soup have substance.

All ya do:
Put 2 cups of cottage cheese (one container is what I eat as a serving or you can make less) in a microwave safe bowl.
Add sauteed onions and bell peppers
Mix in 1/4 cup of whatever pasta sauce you like (I try to find low carb ones) - the one in the pic is Saucy Cajun. I've also used Tikka Masala, Poblano Sauce, Creamy Masala, Enchilada etc... (choices are endless)
Add 1 grated Reduced Fat Mozzarella String Cheese Stick
Add any spices if so desired (usually the sauce will have enough, but it's to taste)
Stir
Pop in the microwave for about 3 minutes... remove, stir
Top it with whatever you want.... The pic, I used some low carb tortilla strips I found, but I've also used crispy Jalapeno strips, crispy bell pepper strips, green onion, tandoori seasoning, paprika etc... or nothing at all LOL
The combo of the cottage cheese and string cheese will give it substance and when you eat, the string cheese will kinda pull like eating cheese on a pizza LOL

Enjoy... it's quite yummy!
