What should I do with cottage cheese..

Babarrosa1

Recipe ideas anyone?

I have a nice tub of it.. tried a bit this morning and I like it. What else can I do with it?

If you eat pasta, you can add the cottage cheese to your dishes. When heated it's like a chunky riccota (the cheese layer of lasagne), or you can blend it first and then its almost exactly like riccota.

You can also try eating it with sliced peaches or sliced pears.

I liked at fruit to mine... I have been known to add salsa and mix with eggs.

Oatmeal Cottage Cheese Pancakes
1/2 cup oatmeal (uncooked)
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1 teaspoon vanilla
4 egg whites

Blend all ingredients in blender.
Spray skillet with cooking spray and cook just like"silver dollar" pancakes, a few small ones at a time.

They freeze really well.... Easy breakfast.

I like mine fairly plain, with black pepper and chives.

Also, run it through a blender (or not. . . ) and use it anywhere you'd use sour cream or mayonaisse.

I like it savory, I'll add salsa or just simply garlic powder and some basil. Om nom nom.

I like it over fresh tomatoes with a little bit of basil and pepper.

I like to use it as a dip for raw vegetables or crackers. It's also nice added to scrambled eggs.

Add some fresh dill or other herbs, blend it so its a little smoother and use it as a veggie dip.

Throw it away.

Cottage cheese is my most hated food.

Haha - I was about to say the same!

Most people find this odd but I grew up eating this way. I cut up fruit, my favorites being pineapple and peaches and mix it with the cottage cheese. LOVE IT! In fact, I look forward to summertime just so I can enjoy it again. No reason not to eat it year round but it just feels like a summer food to me.
