How to cook cottage cheese and carrot casserole - recipe for cottage cheese casserole with carrots and semolina in the oven with step-by-step photos
INGREDIENTS:
- 400 g cottage cheese 5 – 9%
- 4 small eggs
- 100 g sugar
- 80 g semolina
- 2 tbsp. l. sour cream 15%
- 2 medium carrots (250 g)
COOKING METHOD:
1. In order to prepare cottage cheese casserole with carrots in the oven, you need to place high-quality and not very wet cottage cheese in a deep bowl. If you knead the dough with a mixer or by hand, then it is better to rub the cottage cheese through a sieve first, but if you have an immersion blender, then you do not need to create this labor-intensive function.
2. Add sugar and chicken eggs to the cottage cheese.
3. Beat all ingredients very well with a submersible blender for 1 - 2 minutes to obtain a smooth and homogeneous curd mass without lumps.
To mix the dough, you can also use a mixer, a whisk or an ordinary fork, but do not forget to rub the cottage cheese through a sieve before doing this, otherwise the casserole may turn out to be grainy and not very tender. 4. Peel the carrots and grate them on a small grater.
The sweeter the carrots, the tastier the casserole will be, so it’s better to choose large root vegetables, but at the same time durable and not very old. 5. Then you need to put the carrots in the curd dough and mix well with a spoon.
Before doing this, you need to squeeze most of the juice out of it with your hands, but a little juice should still be thrown out in order to preserve the rich taste and smell and not bring it to the state of dry pulp. 6. At the last step, add semolina, mix the dough thoroughly and let it stand on the table for 15 - 30 minutes so that the semolina swells and absorbs excess liquid.
7. Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle the bottom and sides with semolina, then put the dough in it and smooth it out.
8. Gently grease the surface of the casserole with carrots and cottage cheese with sour cream and after that it can finally go into the oven.
9. Cook the casserole in an oven preheated to 180°C for approximately 40 minutes, although this depends on the thickness of the curd layer.
The casserole is ready when it begins to brown on the sides and slightly pull away from the sides of the pan. The finished casserole of cottage cheese and carrots must be cooled to a slightly warm state, otherwise you cannot properly appreciate its delicate elastic thickness and unique special taste.
When serving it, you must certainly top it with the freshest cold sour cream, then your household members will simply not be able to get away from this tasty and healthy dish. Try it and see for yourself!

Various cottage cheese casseroles are just good for a hearty breakfast. This is precisely why such snacks are very popular all over the world. But they can be made even more useful. For example, prepare cottage cheese and carrot casserole according to the recipes below.

Next, wipe the medium-fat cottage cheese into a dry bowl. Pour sour cream in there. Using a spoon, thoroughly mix the viscous curd mass.

Now use whisks (by hand or with a mixer) to beat raw chicken eggs with sugar until fluffy.
Using a spatula, transfer the sweet mass with the previously mixed ingredients. Finally, knead the thick mixture, adding flour.
Grease a mold (round, oval or rectangular) with a piece of butter. Immediately pour the contents of the bowl.
Cook the cottage cheese casserole with carrots for forty to forty 5 minutes, setting the oven temperature to 180 degrees.
Before portioning, be sure to cool the dessert, and then spread it on the table with sour cream or any clear berry jam.

Continuing mixing in the food processor, add sifted flour and baking powder. Having received a frisky viscous dough, move it with a spatula into any form, the bottom and walls (internal) of which are greased with oil.
Immediately put the carrot-curd casserole in the oven, where at two hundred degrees, cook it for half an hour. All that remains is to cool the dessert, cut it and add any hot or cold drink.
If you don’t have a food processor in your kitchen, knead the dough in the same order, just using a regular mixer. In the second case, give preference to fatty cottage cheese, on the basis of which you can knead the required mass in a short time.

Combine the sweet mixture with the curd mixture and, sifting the flour with baking powder, create a flowing, homogeneous dough with raisins.

Separately, in an unstained bowl, beat raw eggs with little sugar until a strong, snow-white mixture forms.
Combine both masses, kneading with a spatula. Later sift the flour. At the same time, add baking powder.

- baking powder (sachet);
- 395 grams of cottage cheese;
- butter into a bowl;
- 105 g grated carrots;

Place cottage cheese, sugar and drink into a food processor. Start active kneading. After one and a half to two minutes, add grated or chopped carrots.
Now add a little for the smell of vanilla and for the splendor of the baking powder. Also sift the flour through a sieve.
Pour the dough mixed for the cottage cheese and carrot casserole into a bowl greased on the inside with oil.
Place the container in the multicooker. Turn on the “Baking” or “Pie” mode by snapping the lid. Total cooking time is 40 minutes.
After turning off the pie and cooling it directly in the bowl, take it out and cut it. Serve with milk or berry juice.
Excluding eggs can cause a bad “bundle” of dough, which can cause the casserole to break when cut out. That’s why we transferred the baking process to a slow cooker. In this machine, the pie will literally turn out tender and soft. Try it yourself!
