Delicate Curd Casserole

4 servings

45 minutes

When you make a casserole, it is very important not to make a mistake with the texture. Here it is in perfect order: for half a kilo of cottage cheese we took 20 grams of semolina and 30 grams of sugar, binding this mass with egg yolks. Dried fruits are mixed into the dough, and they can be any.

6. Mix the mass. Leave it for half an hour: during this time, the semolina will swell, and the cottage cheese mass will become denser.

8. Place the casserole in an oven preheated to 160 degrees for 1.5 hours.

9. Once the casserole is browned, check it with a skewer. If it's dry, the casserole is ready.
