Low-calorie cottage cheese casserole

6 servings

60 minutes

Low-calorie cottage cheese casserole is a delicate and airy dish that will enhance any breakfast or snack. Its roots trace back to European cuisine, where cottage cheese casseroles are popular for their simplicity and nutrition. The light texture is achieved through whipped eggs and swelling semolina, while the cottage cheese adds softness and a slight tanginess. The casserole is slightly sweet yet harmonious – perfect as a standalone dish or paired with honey, berries, and sour cream. Due to its low calorie content, it suits those watching their diet but not wanting to give up delicious desserts. It is baked in the oven at high temperatures, creating a delicate golden crust that hides the softness and rich milky flavor inside.
