    Mash it up with a tin of sardines in tomato sauce and add a little lemon juice and seasoning to make pate.

    Hi,

    My MIL used to make super cheesecakes using cottage cheese, can't get hold of her recipe, but found US and UK links for lemon cheesecake recipes:

    Edit - Just spotted you wanted it for dinner!! Well at least it's a very cheap cheesecake recipe and we do need treats sometimes!!

    How about using it to make a flan/quiche? I used to have a recipe for a spinach and cottage cheese flan somewhere but I can't seem to find it at the moment. Will come back to you if I do, or if not I'll have a look on google :)


    Oh, just another thought - I often make pasta and crumble feta cheese over it which, if you drained the cottage cheese through a muslin square or sieve would have a similar consistency, so that would probably work too!

    Mix with pepper, a touch of wholegrain mustard and a little grated cheese, pop thinly sliced tomatoes on toast & top with cheese mix, grill until bubbling : healthy cheese on toast:D

    ps : if not enough cottage cheese mix with natural yogurt to stretch!

    nice mixed with chives, parsley, crushed garlic & salt & pepper, served with pickled beetroot & crusty bread

    or, mix it with eggs, chives if you have them, a little grated cheddar & enough milk to make a sloppy consistency, season well & layer in an oven-proof dish with sliced cooked potatoes, top with more cheddar. bake in a moderate oven for 35-45 minutes till heated through & bubbly on top. nice with crusty bread & salad. very nutritious too, loads of protein. & it uses up left-over boiled potatoes

    I don't have an actual suggestions but I LOVE LOVE LOVE cottage cheese!! I have it in jacket spuds mostly, I used to have it when I was little when we went to Tescos for luch (in the cafe) they always put a bit of parsley on the top, hee hee. I think I will try some of these suggestions too, thanks!
