Some people can take a spoon and eat cottage cheese directly from the container.
However, people like me prefer to use it as an ingredient in bigger things, so I came up with this list of amazing recipes. Amazing cottage cheese recipes
you’ll love cottage cheese
is a versatile ingredient. You can use it in breakfast bowls, Italian dishes, sauces, sweets, and even pancakes!
With that in mind, be sure to read this list to the end
.
You might be surprised at some of the things you can do with this simple ingredient
.
1
. Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowl
If you’re looking for a delicious low-carb breakfast that you can prepare in less than 5 minutes, look no further than this cottage cheese breakfast bowl
.
All you will need is cottage cheese, flaxseed oil and chia seeds.
Then, top everything with your favorite ingredients (berries and mixed nuts are the recipe suggestions).
It’s a sweet, healthy start to your day.
Arabic numeral. Avocado toast with cottage cheese and tomatoes
Whether I’m looking for breakfast or a snack, I often turn to avocado toast
.
It is difficult to overcome something that takes 5 minutes to do and is very versatile
.
Sometimes I top my avocado toast with a fried egg; sometimes, I go for radishes, onions, and garlic.
On other days, I add cottage cheese, avocado and a slice of tomato.
It is simple, fresh and very delicious.
3. Savory Cottage Cheese
Bowls One of my favorite things about many of the recipes on this list is that you can make them in 5 minutes or less. That includes this one.
Mix your cottage cheese with spring onions and pepper. Then top it with peppers, cucumbers, tomatoes and pistachios.
It is a nutritious and tasty bowl of goodness
.
4
. Cottage cheese pancakes
My mother used to make cottage cheese pancakes when she was little, and I always loved them very much
.
I don’t know why it took me so long to start making them myself
.
They have wonderfully crispy edges and warm, soft, melting centers in the mouth. With or without coverage, they are quite unbeatable.
5. Scrambled cottage cheese
eggs With a little
cottage cheese, salt, pepper and butter, you can make the fluffiest and most padded scrambled eggs you’ve ever tasted
.
This simple four-ingredient recipe takes 10 minutes maximum
.
I always add some extra cheese, usually cheddar, and top them with diced green onions when they’re ready
.
6. Requesón Alfredo
If you’re skeptical about this one, I get it. It seems like a strange choice. However, Alfredo cottage cheese is amazing.
If possible, he is even richer and creamier than “normal” Alfredo,
but despite that, he is no more decadent!
It actually has fewer calories and less fat than the other alfredo!
A richer, creamier taste with less of all the bad stuff? Why would you go back to the original recipe?
7. Cottage cheese lasagna
cottage cheese lasagna is a recipe you’ve probably had at some point,
whether you’ve made it yourself or not
.
Many people use cottage cheese in their lasagna
.
Like all lasagna recipes, this one has a somewhat long ingredient list, and it takes some time to prepare and cook.
That’s just part of the package when making lasagna.
Even so, this lasagna is cheesy, garlic and full of many delicious things.
Cottage cheese doesn’t add much flavor, but it does make the filling smoother and creamier
.
8. Blueberry cottage cheese Night oatmeal
You will build this tasty breakfast on a base of milk, cottage cheese and oatmeal
.
Let them sit in the refrigerator overnight and then add whatever you want for the ingredients
.
The recipe suggests honey, blueberries and pumpkin seeds, but you can cheer them up however you want
.
9. Whipped
cottage cheese dip You may think cottage cheese is
too thick and lumpy for a sauce, but this cottage cheese is pureed until it’s as smooth as silk and as creamy as a whipped topping
.
It also has a wonderful garlic and herb flavor that goes well with vegetables, cookies, chips, or just about anything else you want to dip into it
.
Except chocolate. Maybe you don’t try to dip it with chocolate.
10. Cottage cheese
sandwich
This sandwich takes 5 minutes to make and is incredibly tasty. The only thing I do differently is toast the bread.
When you stack a lot of wet, semi-wet things, like cottage cheese, tomato slices and butter, on a piece of bread, it gets soaked and thinner
.
That’s why we always toast my bread before adding butter and all other ingredients
.
However, once that’s done, this is a simple sandwich with a fresh, vegetarian garden flavor that you’ll love
.
11
. Cottage cheese parfaits
You wouldn’t think a cottage cheese parfait would work. Cottage cheese doesn’t have the same sweet softness as yogurt, after all.
Somehow, though, it works
.
Once you mix the granola, you will not notice the lumpiness of cottage cheese, and all the sweetness of the berries helps compensate for its softness
.
It’s delicious, and it’s not that high in calories, carbs, or fat
.
12
. This incredibly good Mexican cottage cheese sauce is like an
incredibly good Mexican cottage cheese sauce it’s like a seven-layer sauce if you toss all seven layers into a blender and light it high.
It has everything you could want from a tasty sauce south of the border: corn, black beans, guacamole, tomatoes, onions, jalapeños, Sriracha, and of course, cottage cheese.
It tastes great when combined with vegetables, chips or even pita bread.
13. Stuffed
shells
I love stuffed shells. I love almost anything sticky, cheesy and full of tomato sauce or marinara.
However, that said, these stuffed shells are some of the best I’ve ever had
.
Not only do they have whipped cottage cheese in the filling, but they also have mozzarella and parmesan!
There is also garlic, basil, parsley and marinara. Mmmm… Can’t you smell these shells cooking right now?
Honestly, I don’t know which is better: the smell or the taste
.
14. Tomatoes
and cottage cheese
These look a bit like stuffed peppers, but they’re not
. On the one hand, you will
use tomatoes as a base, and on the other, you will fill them with cottage cheese, Worcestershire and Tabasco sauce
.
They are fresh and refreshing treats with just a touch of spices. They are excellent appetizers or 5-minute snacks.
15. Cottage cheese salad with Za’atar
This salad is too pretty to eat but too tasty not to, so you’ll have to overlook the pretty colors and dip right in with a fork
.
It’s ready in 20 minutes, and because it’s packed with different vegetables and fruits (cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, olives, etc.), it’s also relatively healthy
.
16. Apple Cottage Cheese Muffins
These muffins are a quick and tasty treat if you’re looking for a takeaway snack
.
They are soft and tender inside, but have a wonderfully flaky oatmeal cover
.
Because they’re packed with apples, cinnamon, brown sugar, and vanilla, they’re perfect for fall
.
In addition, they smell great while cooking
.
17
. Salted cottage cheese muffins These
salty, gluten-free, and vegetarian muffins will almost remind you of a delicious
quiche.
The texture is not exactly the same, but the taste of bread, broccoli and cheese is very similar to quiche
.
These are freezer safe, so you can do more and save them for later.
They work well as healthy midday snacks, but I prefer to heat them up and eat them as hot breakfast items to go.
18. Cottage cheese bowl with honey and walnut
and raspberry I knew I
wanted to make this recipe the moment I read the words “honey,” “walnut,” and “raspberry.”
It was a combination of flavors I had never considered, and I immediately knew it was going to be delicious. Spoiler alert: Was.
I would like to say that cottage cheese made a huge difference in my love for this bowl.
Honestly, I would have eaten it just as quickly if there had been no cottage cheese.
However, cottage cheese doesn’t detract from the overall taste, and it adds protein and lots of vitamins and minerals, so you could add it too.
19. Strawberry Cottage Cheese Smoothie
This simple five-ingredient smoothie is another great option if you frequently grab your meals on the go
.
All you’ll need to make it is milk, frozen strawberries, cottage cheese, honey, and vanilla extract
.
Throw them all in a blender and mix until everything is smooth. It takes about 5 minutes and yields enough for two shakes.
Believe it or not, it really tastes like strawberry smoothie. Not a bad way to start the day.
20. Baked spinach casserole with cheese
You can call this a “casserole,” but it’s pretty much the most amazing spinach sauce you’ve ever had. It’s so cheesy, garlic and ooey-sticky.
It’s really supposed to be a casserole, but I can’t help it
.
Every time I do, I always drop a little in a bowl and dip it with chips. It’s so good.
21. Baked rotini
Rotini is another one of those delicious Italian dishes that I can’t seem to get enough of, and this five-ingredient baked rotini recipe is one of my favorites, mainly because it’s so simple
.
It takes less than an hour to cook and has plenty of cheese and spaghetti sauce. It’s hard to beat that.
22. Tuna salad with cottage cheese
This is a tuna salad with a southwestern twist. It takes about 15 minutes to prepare and does not require any cooking at all.
You can serve it as a sauce or in sandwiches or wraps
.
23
. Protein Waffles
Everyone loves waffles, but not everyone loves the high-carb/low-protein content that comes with them. Making waffles with
cottage cheese
is the solution to that problem. Using cottage cheese
and oatmeal instead of a waffle mixture increases protein up to 20 grams per serving! That’s a lot of protein.
Net carbs are still a bit high, but they’re not as high as in most “regular” waffles.24
Cottage cheese whipped with almond butter and banana
Yes, this recipe is for another of those “prepare it in 5 minutes without real cooking” dishes.
I can’t help it. Sometimes, you just need to do things the easy way.
Cottage cheese makes it very simple. Simply beat the cottage cheese until it is soft and creamy.
Then top it with bananas, almond butter, and anything else you want to add
.
25
. Cottage cheese ice cream
Cottage cheese even simplifies
ice cream!
With just two ingredients, cottage cheese and frozen berries, you can make sweet and delicious ice cream in about 5 minutes
.
Use your favorite berries or mix and match
.
26. Chocolate
mousse
This chocolate mousse is almost as simple as cottage cheese ice cream
.
All you’ll need is Stevia, cottage cheese, cocoa powder and two tablespoons of almond butter
.
Mix them all in a blender, then stick the mixture in the fridge for about half an hour to cool. It’s a tasty, protein-rich dessert with a relatively low calorie count.
It tastes extra delicious with chocolate chips, nuts, grated coconut or a few banana slices
.
27. Strawberry Cereal Parfait
Although I already have a parfait on the list, I couldn’t finish it without adding this one, too. It’s too tasty to ignore.
In addition, this parfait has a lot to do for such a small portion: strawberries, yogurt, cottage cheese, honey, peanuts, whole grains, lemon juice and vanilla extract
.
That’s a lot of flavor to pack in one candy
.
28. Cups of Smoothed Cottage Cheese Dessert This
low-carb dessert takes just 5 minutes to make, and you can make it as sweet as you want by adjusting your sweetener
.
Adding a little honey doesn’t hurt the taste either
.
29. Crepes stuffed with cottage
cheese and cream cheese
A fluffy filling of cream cheese and cottage cheese combined with a delicately thin and flaky rind
?
What is not loving? These crepes are amazing.
They’re sweet enough to serve for dessert, but I love them as part of a lazy Saturday morning breakfast or brunch.
Whenever you decide to eat them, you’ll never want to use another crepe recipe.
30. Cottage cheesecake
The words “healthy” and “
cheesecake” are not usually found together in the same sentence
.
That’s what makes this cottage cheesecake so special
.
It takes about an hour to cook, but only 20 minutes to prepare, and while it’s healthy, and it is, it’s
also delicious.
Blackcurrant jam is an excellent dressing, too. It’s not one that’s often found in cheesecakes, and that makes it even better.
