Sweet cottage cheese mass baked in the oven is a traditional Russian treat rooted in homemade syrniki and casseroles beloved in folk cuisine. The delicate cottage cheese, gently simmered with vanilla sugar and sour cream, acquires an airy texture, while added raisins provide sweet accents. Baking in the oven makes the mass soft inside with a light golden crust outside. The dish is perfect for breakfast or dessert and can be served with jam, honey, or fresh fruits. Simple and accessible ingredients make this recipe cozy and warm, while its rich milky flavor is a true delight. This casserole combines ease of preparation with home comfort, reminding one of childhood and family traditions.
