Open in Pepper →Cottage Cheese Earns Its Spot In The Fridge
That tub sits in the door until you find something real to do with it. Blended smooth, cottage cheese turns into bread, pancakes, dip and queso without tasting like cottage cheese at all.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the mornings nobody wants cereal, and again around four o'clock when the game is on and something needs to go in a dish and get hot.
Every recipe here uses the tub: Savory Cheddar & Herb Cottage Cheese Bread, Baked Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bowls, High-Protein Cottage Cheese Buffalo Chicken Dip, Fluffy Cottage Cheese Bagels, Honey Butter Cottage Cheese Waffles, and two queso versions, including one with ground beef.
Quick Tips
- 1
Blend it completely smooth
Run the cottage cheese in a blender or food processor for 30 to 60 seconds until no curds remain, or your bread and pancakes will have lumps.
- 2
Use full-fat for queso
Full-fat cottage cheese melts creamier and is far less likely to break than low-fat when you stir it into shredded cheddar and monterey jack.
- 3
Rest the bagel dough
Let the cottage cheese and almond flour dough sit 5 minutes before shaping so it firms up enough to roll without sticking to your hands.
- 4
Cook pancakes low and slow
Cottage cheese batter browns fast, so keep the skillet at medium-low and give each side 3 to 4 minutes before flipping.
