Cottage cheese casserole with cranberry jam

40 minutes

Cottage cheese casserole with cranberry jam is a delicate, airy treat with a bright berry note. The recipe is based on the traditional Russian love for cottage cheese, which has been used in baking for centuries. Cranberries, known for their health benefits, add a pleasant tartness to the casserole, creating a harmony of flavors: the sweetness of sugar, the softness of cottage cheese, and the freshness of berry sauce. The dish is perfect for a cozy family breakfast or a light dessert after lunch. The casserole holds its shape well and its aroma makes you linger in the kitchen waiting for the first spoonful. It can be served with honey, sour cream or an extra portion of cranberry jam, making it even richer and more appetizing.
