Protein cottage cheese casserole with berries

60 minutes
Protein cottage cheese casserole with berries is a delicate and airy treat perfect for breakfast or a light dessert. Its roots trace back to European culinary traditions where cottage cheese is valued for its nutritional value and ability to create soft, creamy textures. The flavor of the casserole is a harmony of cane sugar sweetness, cottage cheese tenderness, and a slight tartness from red currants. Cinnamon adds an exquisite aromatic note while jam enriches the taste further. This dish can be served hot or cold and remains equally appetizing. The lightness of the protein batter makes the casserole tender while the berries add freshness, turning it into an ideal option for healthy eating and enjoyment.
