Cottage cheese casserole with apple and cinnamon
4 servings
45 minutes
Cottage cheese casserole with apple and cinnamon is a harmony of tenderness and coziness embodied in a classic European recipe. Its roots trace back to the traditions of home cooking, where cottage cheese has always been considered a base for healthy and delicious dishes. The casserole has an airy texture and a slightly sweet taste that is wonderfully complemented by the spicy note of cinnamon and the freshness of apples. This combination gives a feeling of warmth and comfort, making the dish perfect for family breakfast or a light dinner. A pleasant golden crust gives it an appetizing appearance, while a night in the fridge makes the casserole even denser and richer. It can be served as a standalone dish or complemented with yogurt and honey to enhance flavor nuances.
1
Preheat the oven to 200 degrees. Prepare a rectangular baking dish, lining it with parchment paper, folding the edges. Grease the paper with vegetable oil for easier removal of the casserole.
- Vegetable oil: 0.3 teaspoon
2
Mash the cottage cheese with a fork and add baking soda, cut the apple into cubes.
- Cottage cheese crumbly: 300 g
- Soda: 0.3 teaspoon
- Apple: 0.5 piece
3
Mix the eggs with salt, sweetener (if needed), and blend. Pour into the cottage cheese.
- Chicken egg: 2 pieces
- Salt: pinch
4
Add semolina and cinnamon to the cottage cheese with eggs. Mix with a spatula. Add an apple.
- Semolina: 4 tablespoons
- Ground cinnamon: 0.5 teaspoon
- Apple: 0.5 piece
5
Place the dough in the prepared mold and put it in the oven for 30 minutes. If after 30 minutes the casserole is still not browned, you can increase the oven heat and leave it for another 10 minutes.
6
Remove the form from the oven, pull the paper with the casserole by the edges. It's better to cool on a rack to avoid excess condensation. After completely cooling, store in the fridge overnight, then cut into portions.
