Can I use regular sugar instead of sweetener?

Yes, use 1-2 tbsp of sugar. Calories will increase, but the texture will remain the same.

Why did my casserole turn out runny?

The cottage cheese may have been too wet, or it wasn't cooked long enough. Increase power or time by 2-3 minutes.

Can I bake it in a regular oven?

Yes, pour the mixture into a dish and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 20-25 minutes until golden.

How many servings does this make?

SIMPLE PROCESS

Step by step recipe

The key is to whisk the eggs and cottage cheese thoroughly until smooth for a fluffy texture. Add sweetener to taste and finish with a sprinkle of cinnamon for flavor and a golden top. Microwave times may vary with your appliance — watch closely.

Step 1

Prep Ingredients

Place cottage cheese in a bowl, add eggs and sweetener.

Step 2

Mix

Whisk with a blender, mixer, or fork until smooth and creamy.

Step 3

Prepare the Mold

Choose a microwave-safe dish (glass or silicone). Optionally, grease it lightly.

Step 4

Pour the Mixture

Transfer the cottage cheese mixture into the dish and smooth the top.

Step 5

Add Cinnamon

Sprinkle the top with ground cinnamon.

Step 6

Cook and Serve

Microwave on full power for 9-10 minutes. Leave it in the off microwave for 2-3 minutes, then serve warm or chilled. Enjoy!

CHEF'S TIP

Choose Dry Cottage Cheese

Use low-moisture cottage cheese (5-9% fat) for a firm texture. If it's wet, the casserole may turn out too soft — drain it in a sieve for 15 minutes.

Blend Until Smooth

Whisk the cottage cheese and eggs thoroughly until creamy. This ensures a smooth, even texture.

Cinnamon for Flavor and Color

Cinnamon adds not only aroma but also a nice golden hue. You can also add vanilla or nutmeg for variety.

Let It Rest

After cooking, leave the casserole in the microwave for 2-3 minutes — it will set perfectly.

SUBSTITUTIONS

Add your taste

With Vanilla Instead of Cinnamon Replace cinnamon with 1 tsp vanilla extract or a pinch of vanillin for a classic flavor.
Add Berries Fold a handful of fresh or frozen berries (blueberries, raspberries) into the batter for a colorful dessert.
With Honey Instead of Sweetener Use 1-2 tsp of honey for a more natural option — calories will increase slightly.
Add Whole Wheat Flour Stir in 1 tbsp of whole wheat flour for a firmer structure if the cottage cheese is too wet.

HOW TO STORE
