    I love it plain, but team it up with avocado, tomatoes, hot sauce...all good! I'm all about the savoury. It cures a salt-fix for me every time!

    old-fashioned idea: diced fresh peaches or pears with cottage cheese then add a sprinkling of sliced almonds.

    I'll put it with anything in the fridge tbh. It's good on toast with jam or banana, out of the tub with a spoon, mixed with tuna for a salad... Basically chuck it anywhere. Mix it through mash, Smear it in sandwiches, eat with cut up fruit...

    Once I even made a lower fat cheese sauce from cottage cheese. I blended up some cottage cheese with a bit of milk and about 1/3 the amount of grated cheese that id normally use for cheese sauce. Season and taste and add more normal cheese if required. Use the milk to get it to a nice consistency. Then I threw this in a lasagne as the cheesy layer. It was so nice! And it's good for those who are put off by the texture of cottage cheese as its blended til smooth.

    I like cottage cheese as a snack/lunch. My favorite way is to add cherry tomatoes or sliced tomatoes in it, and season it with thyme or rosemary.

    Dump it on top of baked or sweet potatoes.

    I thought I was the only one who did this?! :D

    You might try draining it over cheesecloth if the whey is a problem for you.

    You can can also buy it "pressed" which has the whey separated already.

    Why don't you try it, rather than assuming you won't like it?


    This. I LOVE cottage cheese, and have it for breakfast regularly.

    I love it by itself! Eat some almost every day. But if I wanna mix it up a little, I'll throw in peach slices, or sprinkle with celery salt.

    Mix it with salsa and some black olives and/or green onions, and use it as a dip for some baked tortilla chips. Yummy!

    Buy a small container with the pineapple or peaches mixed in and see if you like it.

    ^ This.

    I like cottage cheese plain. I also like it with jam or fruit. I tried to mix it with PB2 because someone suggested that to me, and it was really nasty. You could also just add some ground black pepper to it for a little kick without any sweetness.

    Typically, when you add cottage cheese to something else, like in a protein pancake recipe or other baked good, you can't taste it.

    I love cottage cheese in the crustless quiche

    1 container of 2% cottage cheese
    2 eggs
    any veggies etc what ever you want to put in

    beat eggs, add cottage cheese and stir...add veggies or ? and put in a flat dish and bake for 30 mins

    It is very low in calories


    I also love cottage cheese with Jello lol

    I like it plain. But sometimes I add salt, pepper and paprika. And sometimes I mix it with canned salmon.

    I want to try cottage cheese but I don't know any good recipes to make it taste good (I've heard its not very good plain) If anyone has any good simple recipes such as spice mixes or anything like that I would really appreciate it! I'm more into salty or spicy food than sweet so mixing with jelly or fruit doesn't really apeal to me.

    I always put canned....no sugar added...pineapple in mine. I always use fat free, small curd. Yummy!

    Savory-Sriracha sauce and dried onion or chives mixed in.
    Sweet-about 1tsp of instant sugar free pudding dry mix with cinnamon mixed in ( I also mix in Quest protein power (vanilla) sometimes. Or with fall coming up, a few TBSP of canned pumpkin (I use 1/2 jar of squash baby food sometimes) and pumpkin pie spice.
