    Mix a portion of cottage cheese and an equal portion of eggbeaters, then add omelet fixins (ham, cheese, veggies--what ever you like) and bake. Comes out more fluffy than an omelet (more like a souffle). I bake mine in muffin tins. Great for upping protein amount at breakfast.

    I'm new to MFP and this is the first thread that I'm reading....there are so many good ideas here that I want to go get gallons of cottage cheese and eat nothing but for the next week!

    My two favs right now are:

    1. Fresh strawberries sliced and chilled with a little stevia, then mixed with CC.

    2. Steamed asparagus, garlic, CC and, if needed, a little milk to thin it out - all hit with a stick blender. I came up with this when I was really dying for some cream of asparagus soup but didn't want to go the canned soup route. It is delicious - a real comfort food.

    I love to put my cottage cheese in the food processor with splenda to taste and a tsp of vanilla extract. Really let it whiz for a few minutes and ta-da! Tastes like cheese cake. Awesome fruit dip or sprinkle it with crushed graham crackers. Mmmm...

    Also, toss hot cooked whole grain pasta with cottage cheese and your fave pesto. So delish! Great for meat free dinner days.

    I am going to be trying this. I LOVE cheesecake! I have a few recipes that are pretty good but none with cottage cheese. Thank you for sharing.

    I use it as my dressing for salads sometimes.

    I also put flaxseed and fruit in it in the afternoon- fills me up for a good afternoon snack. The not so hungry for dinner.

    Or, I'll mix 1/2 container of flavored yogurt so the snack is higher in protein and less sugars.

    I also like it on baked potatoes instead of sour cream.

    From the insanity nutrition guide,..one slice of bread ( I use healthy life 35 cal wheat) one tablespoon peanut butter and one half cup cottage cheese. Toast and top, it's actually tasty and full of protein.

    I take 1/2 of fat free cottage cheesee (80 cals), add one 6 oz container of peach, lemon, or lime (no fat/ sugar) yogurt (100 cals). Easy mix. tastes great. just the right amount of protien and carbs for me.

    For a bedtime snack, I often incorporate the old c. cheese with some cinnamon, some chocolate casein, a smattering of almond butter, and the slightest bit of skim milk to facilitate stirring. Replete with slow-digesting protein and good fats, this baby tastes like
    cheesecake* and keeps me sated through the night. This is not a weight-loss snack, but rather one for the maintenance and growth of muscle when incorporated with a rigorous weightlifting regimen.

    *My wife does not concur with this claim and would go so far as to call it a load of horse-hockey.

    I just came across this recipe for herbed cottage cheese. It appears that people eat it as a dip. I'm still on the fence about cottage cheese. I love those little Breakstone's cottage cheese and fruit containers, but they are expensive! I need to find some sugar free preserves that I like.

    Anyhow, here ya go:

    Lots of you have had it with salsa. Now try mixing it with salsa and putting that on top of a baked potato. Doesn't look great, but tastes amazing.

    I also use it in lasagne in place of chalky, gritty ricotta cheese.

    I just came across the recipe for cottage cheese pancakes (as a previous poster mentioned). It looks like it would be worth a try. Maybe you could stew some strawberries with splenda to make an awesome topping.

    The recipe has 210 calories per serving, but it has 3 whole eggs and oil in the mix. You could play around with the amount of whole eggs and oil you really need.
