    I just realised I've never thought of cottage cheese as anything other than savoury... having it with fruit sounds odd to me. I'll give it a go though.

    Pepper. Loads and loads of ground black pepper.

    I love it plain. I never add anything to it, but if I did it would be savory. I like it on the side with a savory meal and if it mixes a bit with my omelet or vegetables or potatoes, that's tasty.

    I serve it with: baked sweet potatoes; quinoa & roasted veg; mixed beans & sausage casserole; with salad...

    Never tried it in a sweet version!

    That's what i thought... unless cottage cheese taste way different than how i'm imagining it?

    I'll try it both ways, i guess. I'll buy the cottage cheese with the "fruit flips" and see which, or if, i even like it.

    Thanks everyone for the replies by the way!!

    With pork rinds and black pepper, or with some SF preserves mixed in.

    Well... i'm actually sitting here eating some now. And i have to admit, i don't exactly hate it. The texture is extremely weird though. Though i'm not liking it with fruit. Definitely a savory thing for me. I would love to try it with some veggies! Or some toast. Next time :)

    I use it as the base for salad dressing, for example, 56 g cottage cheese, 1 t olive oil, and a little mustard. Did that yesterday for a salad with ham and swiss. Today's salad will be turkey and cheddar, so I think I will mix the cottage cheese with some whole berry cranberry sauce.

    When I have about 200 calories left for a bedtime snack, I mix cottage cheese with 4 ounces of applesauce.

    My favorite is to toast an English muffin, place sliced tomato on top, cover in cottage cheese and sprinkle with black pepper. I eat it as an open faced sandwich and it's awesome.

    Mixed with scoop of whey (chocolate peanut butter is awesome), 20-30 grams of some cereal and finished with a sprinkle of cinnamon is one of my basic meals. I also use a low-fat version, so if I want my fats higher I can mix in some peanut butter.

    I like it with fruits like grapes, mangoes, and strawberries.

    I top mine with crunchy almond butter or mixed in with a can of tuna and a squirt of dijon mustard.

    With fruits, berries or in a salad. Banana, cinnamon and CC is a favourite. With half frozen strawberries it almost tastes like rice pudding. And I have recently started making scrambled eggs with it, mixing half'n half. We also make small pancakes with cottage cheese.
    You can also mix it with a bit of greek yoghurt, add some agave syrup or vanilla seeds, and have it as a dessert with fruit when you have cravings for something sweet. The possibilities are endless :)

    I either buy the cottage cheese doubles with strawberry. Or i eat it with sliced strawberries or drizzled with honey and a piece of toast. My mom loved eating it with salt and pepper. Fruit, honey, toast and crackers would be good. Its your choice. Its very versatile. I love it plain too its amazing.

    I like both sweet and savory:
    plain, with black pepper
    with chopped apples and cinnamon
    with pineapple
    with sliced green onion and black pepper
    on any mixed green salad
    as part of a salad with peaches and french dressing
    with tomatoes
    with broccoli, onion and red pepper in an omelet
    instead of ricotta cheese in pasta dishes

    In a blender with artichoke hearts, garlic & red chili flakes. Makes a fine dip for veg or crackers.
    Or blended with salsa verde as a dip for tortilla chips or topping for enchiladas.
