I’ve been eating cottage cheese way before this current craze of all things cottage cheese. Every time serve myself, Rob and Sylvie look over with disdain. Frankly, I’m happy I haven’t had to share this delight over the years as I know when I’m stuck on lunch ideas I can always always count on it being in the fridge waiting for me.
I eat cottage cheese in a variety of ways. I can go sweet, salty, savory – solo – you name it. But one of my favorite ways is pictured above – placed on a Triscuit and topped with a tomato slice – with a sprinkling of pepper. The salty crunchy crackers contrast so beautifully with the creamy curdy cheese — it is just delightful (to me!) A splash of olive oil and/or balsamic vinegar finishes the dish. I paired it with leftover sweet potato chips and I got myself a complete yet simple lunch.
I enjoy cottage cheese in so many ways and will photograph soon. In the meantime – here are a few ideas – One way is on a toasted piece of fresh raisin nut bread – first layered with jam. Is it weird? It sounds weird but I love it. Add a flake or two of Maldon salt and yum! Another is to make cottage cheese scrambled eggs. That are just what they sound like. Additionally, a cottage cheese omelette is also quite good. And eaten on fresh sourdough with a little butter and jam – well it’s like a blintz in another form.
Lately I’ve been influenced by social media and made some pretty tasty cottage cheese pancakes – that are clean and healthy – Sylvie, Andy, Jessica and Nicole all truly enjoyed when visiting.
I’m drawn to the Good Culture cottage cheese – organic – and delicious. I’ve been inspired by an article I read about the founder and their commitment to making high-quality, flavorful cottage cheese.
I’m eager to try to make the cottage cheese crackers I see all over the internet as well as cottage cheese based salad dressings. So many ideas and ways to use this delicious and healthy ingredient. You might think I’m getting a kickback from Good Culture or free cottage cheese – but I’m not! Just sharing…if interested – enjoy –
