Cottage cheese and pumpkin casserole is a delicate and aromatic dish that comes from European culinary tradition. It combines the creamy softness of cottage cheese with subtle sweet notes of pumpkin, creating a harmonious flavor perfect for breakfast or a light dessert. Historically, pumpkin was used in baking due to its availability and ability to add natural sweetness to dishes. The addition of semolina makes the texture airy, while eggs and sour cream provide special juiciness. The casserole is baked until golden brown, filling the kitchen with a warm, homely aroma. It can be served as a standalone dish or with berry sauce, honey, or sour cream to highlight its natural tenderness.
