8 servings

30 minutes

Cottage cheese casserole with cheese and herbs is a delicate and aromatic dish that combines the creamy texture of cottage cheese with the spiciness of cheese and the freshness of herbs. The casserole has deep roots in European cuisine, where cottage cheese is often used in baking and desserts. The addition of garlic gives the dish a slight sharpness, while the baked cheese crust adds an appetizing crunch. The casserole is perfect for breakfast, a light dinner, or even a festive table. It can be served as a standalone dish or with accompaniments like fresh vegetables, sour cream, or favorite sauces. The key is to mix the cottage cheese gently to preserve its airy structure. The simplicity of preparation and rich flavor make this casserole an ideal choice for lovers of comforting and hearty home-cooked meals.

    Crush garlic into the cottage cheese, mix it with grated cheese and eggs, add greens, and mix again. Under no circumstances should you do this in a blender at high speed, as the cottage cheese doesn't like it and you risk getting a cottage cheese mousse instead of a casserole.
