Cottage Cheese Casserole Recipe

Ingredients:

• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a blend)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup flour (or oat flour for a healthier option)
• 1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste; you can use less for a less sweet dish)
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 cup milk (or a non-dairy alternative)
• 1/2 cup fruit (berries, peaches, or apples) or nuts (optional)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the cottage cheese, shredded cheese, eggs, flour, sugar, baking powder, vanilla extract, salt, and milk. Mix until well combined. If using, fold in the fruit or nuts.

3. Prepare Baking Dish: Grease a baking dish (about 9x13 inches) with butter or cooking spray.

4. Pour Mixture: Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly.

5. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for about 40-45 minutes or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

6. Cool and Serve: Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

• Variations: You can add spices like cinnamon for a sweet version or herbs for a savory twist.
• Storage: Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave.
