Cottage cheese casserole with raisins

6 servings

60 minutes

Cottage cheese casserole with raisins is a delicate and aromatic dish of Russian cuisine that brings warmth and comfort to the home. Historically, casseroles emerged as a way to use cottage cheese while preserving its beneficial properties and enhancing its flavor. This version adds semolina for a tender texture and raisins for a sweet, slightly caramel note. Sour cream makes the casserole especially juicy, while vanilla sugar adds a subtle spiciness. This dessert is perfect for breakfast or a light snack and can be served with jam, honey, or sour cream. The pleasant combination of tangy-sweet cottage cheese, airy dough, and soft raisins makes the casserole a favorite dish for the whole family.
