Most of these use cottage cheese--it transforms any shake. My Favorite is the Frozen Hot Chocolate:

Toast bread, mix cottage cheese with cinnamon and a fruit spread and slide under the broiler, great breakfast.

It's also DELICIOUS mixed in omelettes and scrambles eggs. It sort of melts and gets gooey and makes the eggs oh-so creamy.

I love to use cottage cheese as dressing on my salads (I don't like dressing). I also use it to top my baked potatoes.0

Spinach Pie
1 Tbsp Olive Oil
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
1 cup cottage cheese
1/3 cup parm cheese
1/'8 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
10 - 15 craanks fresh cracked pepper
2 large eggs
16 oz frozen cut spinach thawed and squeeze out excess water
1 sheet puff pastry ( i used pie dough instead its cheaper)
1 egg for glaze optional ( it does make it pretty)
oven 375
dice onion and garlic sautee in skillet with oil until transparent
In bowl combine cottage cheese with the rest of ingredients
Once onions are done add to cheese
spread evenly inside pastry lined pie dish, if you use puff pastry flip excess dough on top if it don't close all the way that is ok,
bake 45 min allow to rest 5 min this is a yummy recipe if you like spinach you wouldn't know it was cottage cheese I used fresh parmasan cheese and grated it myself.
If you use puff pastry and frozen spinach taw in refrigerator over night, (I bought same day and thawed spinach in microwave on depfrost then put in strainer and squeezed water out, and used the flat pie dough which to me was great.

My new addiction: Healthy Pumpkin Pancakes
1 cup oats
1/2 cup pumpkin puree
1/2 cup cottage cheese
1/2 cup egg whites
1 banana
2 Tbsp pumpkin pie spice (or make your own: equal parts cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, & 3/4 part all-spice)
Directions:
1. Toss all ingredients in a blender and blend well until mixture becomes a batter like consistency.
2. Cook until golden brown on a hot non-stick pan sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
3. Flip over and cook on the other side until golden brown.
4. Devour! (Or top with maple syrup, pecans, raisins or whatever you want. Personally I love them plain!)0 -
Wow, some great ideas on here.
I put it on top of a toasted english muffin with fruit spread or fresh fruit.0 -

This sounds great!
"mix it with tuna, grated zucchinni and 1 egg, make cakes and bake in the oven for 20 min- delicious"
i also like to mix it in with yogurt. Equal portions and you get extra protein punch!0 -

Beat egg yolk with a dash of Morton Lite Salt, pepper, onion powder, and 1 tsp. green onion. Mix egg yolk mixture with cottage cheese and beat well. Add spinach.

Pour eggs in cottage cheese mixture over bread crumbs. Bake at 375 degrees for 30-40 minutes until golden brown. as soon as it comes out, drizzle melted country crock along the very edges so it drips down and makes an amazing buttery crust.0 -
I like large curd regular cottage cheese ( the low fat kind doesn't taste very good, not worth the difference IMHO) with a tablespoon of whole caraway seed sprinkled over it.0

This is what I like to do,

Top it with a few slices of tomato then a spoon of cottage cheese.
It's very yummy.0 -
Have you tried it with apple butter? it's amazing0

Most people I know give me a hard time because I love cottage cheese! I love it with just fresh ground pepper!
Does anyone else shake the cottage cheese before they buy it to make sure it has the right consistency? Or am I just strange?0 -
I use it instead of mayo or dressing.
Mix it with Sriracha and add to sandwiches, or as a dip for veggies, or on top of chicken, or tuna...amazing!
Also with cantaloupe- SO GOOD.
And I use it instead of mozzarella in a caprese salad, tomatoes, basil, cottage cheese and a little EVO and balsamic vinegar-SO GOOD!!!0 -
Personally I can eat it plain just as it is.
I like to use it as an easy breakfast food at times.....either plain or jazzed up with a bit of honey and cinnamon. Today I had it for breakfast with a bit of honey and pineapple salsa. Delish.
I also use it on baked potatoes or in other ways that I've seen posted in this thread.0 -

I had never had kugel before reading this recipe, and I never would have thought of it. But it's SO tasty and filling.0
