Open in Pepper →That Tub In The Back Of The Fridge
Cottage cheese is one of those things you buy with good intentions and then forget about. Blended smooth it turns into queso or dip, and stirred into batter it makes bread and bagels that come out soft instead of dense.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these when the tub is a few days from its date, when breakfast needs to be something other than cereal, or when company is coming and the dip has to be fast.
Every recipe here uses cottage cheese as the base, from Savory Cheddar & Herb Cottage Cheese Bread and Fluffy Cottage Cheese Bagels to Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls, Ground Beef Cottage Cheese Queso, High-Protein Cottage Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip, and 30-Minute Cottage Cheese Pizza Bites.
Quick Tips
- 1
Blend it completely smooth
For queso, dips, and pancake batter, run the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor for 30 to 60 seconds so no curds remain.
- 2
Use full-fat for melting
Whole-milk cottage cheese holds together better in warm dips like queso; low-fat can separate and turn watery over heat.
- 3
Wet your hands for dough
Cottage cheese bagel dough is sticky, so dampen your hands or oil them lightly before rolling each of the ropes.
- 4
Cool bread before slicing
Let the cheddar and herb loaf sit at least 20 minutes out of the pan or the middle will gum up under the knife.
