    Hi,

    I love cottage cheese, and actually like the taste, however would like to experiment with new flavours, does anyone have any interesting ways of eating it? I am especially interested in dessert style recipes :)

      Have you tried it with apple? What are the textures like together? I usually play safe and stay savoury trying to make myself try new tastes this year though!

      I like to buy the 100 calorie Breakstone's cottage cheese. It comes in a little container with cottage cheese on one side and a fruit sauce on the other and you mix it in yourself. My favorite is Pineapple!

      I have never heard of that (I am in the uk) it sounds a little like a muller corner though but cottage cheese instead of yogurt, oh yumm I could try it with a little jam, thanks :)

      I usually make it with fruit, but if I don't want sweet, it is good with fresh dill.

      I use cottage cheese as a dip for apples. I was leery at first, but thought it is cheese. I also put it on a bed of lettuce w sprinkled pepper.

      Along the same idea, try adding applesauce. I usually use equal volumes unsweetened applesauce to cottage cheese. I really like it that way.

      Mix it with cabbage or precut coleslaw mix. You can eat it that way or add some hot sauce and drop it onto a burrito or taco for pure awesomeness.

      I've had it with tiny pieces of apple in the Breakstone cottage doubles and it was really good. If you want a kick to it, try it with sriracha

      Pineapple with cottage cheese is the best fruit to pair with it in my opinion. Try it, you'll love it!

      Ah that sounds fantastic, love tacos!

      I have it with a little bit of honey, cinnamon sprinkled on it, and chopped walnuts. Mix it all together, and it has a nice taste & good crunch.

      My breakfast every morning is 1/2 cup fat free cottage cheese, 1/2 cup fat free plain greek yogurt, 1/4 cup pumpkin flax granola, and 1 tbsp dried barberries. I've used dried blueberries or cranberries (unsweetened) too. I like tart, so the plain yogurt is best for me, but I have used the kind with the fruit mixed in too.

      Try it with almonds. That's what I use as my evening snack as it has protein & good fat.

      I usually just eat it plain, too. But it's also good with pineapple, spiced pears, granola or cheerios and honey, raisins and sliced banns, strawberry preserves, heated blueberries. Basically anything you would top yogurt with would probably be good to try.

      Also, if you're looking to use it in savory dishes, try adding it to a flatbread pizza or mixing it in with some egg noodles. Here's a good recipe to try: http://thepioneerwoman.com/cooking/2011/03/sour-cream-noodle-bake/. To make it healthier, you can use ground turkey instead of ground chuck and replace the sour cream with plain yogurt (or more cottage cheese!).

      Might have this for breakfast tomorrow! Thanks!

      Growing up, my dad always ate it with pickled beets. Can't say I'm a fan of that combo, but he loved it.
      A coworker eats it with tuna and chopped up celery.

      Personally, I prefer it savory, just some fresh ground pepper on top.

      I went through a phase where I had it with red bell pepper. it added just enough flavor and crunch. :)

      I like it with different fruit like apples, peaches, grapes....also i will have it with tomatoes instead sometimes

      I top a baked potato with cottage cheese, and Lawry's seasoned salt. I love pears with cottage cheese also.
      :happy:

      I like it with fresh pineapple, peaches, or mango. My mom used to make us cottage cheese pancakes for a healthy breakfast for dinner. For savory, I like to have it on toast with lots of fresh cracked pepper. I also like it with salsa.

      Not sure I should have started this topic late at night, these ideas are all great and it's making me hungry!

      Cinnamon is one of my favorite things to add because it adds great flavor without the calories. People around here like peaches with it too, I'm just not a fan of peaches. Blueberries and black berries I like too. And fig preserves, but that's a lot of sugar :)

      My husband puts Splenda in it, about 2 or 3 tablespoons per cup. I think it sounds awful, but he SWEARS by the taste.

      I use it as a cheese substitute. It's delicious in scrambled eggs. Makes them creamy :)

      This little recipe is also one of my favs
      Cottage Cheese
      Tomatoes
      Avocados
      Cucumbers
      Cracked Black Pepper

      Just chop the veggies and throw them in. And pepper to taste. I eat it for lunch quite often. SO yummy! :)

      Why have I never thought of scrambled eggs before, I'm a bit picky about how food feels but they are basically the same texture!
