Cottage cheese casserole is a cozy childhood memory, a dish infused with the warmth of home and the traditions of Russian cuisine. Its history traces back to village feasts where simple yet nutritious ingredients transformed into true gastronomic tenderness. The casserole becomes airy thanks to whipped cottage cheese, while semolina gives it softness and a velvety texture. The light sweetness of honey complements the creamy flavor, creating harmony in every bite. It can be served both as breakfast with a cup of fragrant tea or as a dessert after a hearty lunch. It is not just a dish but a whole ritual of comfort and family warmth, reminiscent of leisurely conversations at the table and joyful moments of home hospitality.
