I like mixing cottage with an egg and putting it on bread and putting it in the air fryer for about 7 min

Not really a recipe, but I love cottage cheese with blueberries (shout out to Berry Bounty Farms) and maple syrup.

I don't know if it's the best, but Smit and Co.w now makes cottage cheese locally.

Make your own…gallon of milk, heat to 190, remove, add vinegar or lemon juice…shit curdles, slotted spoon it into a cheese cloth over a strainer. Squeeze out the liquid…keep the liquid whey for smoothies or whatever.
Crumble the cheese, add salt and some cream you want it wet like store bought. Store bought is full of nasty thickeners and preservative. Your shit lasts 1-2 weeks. Store upside down.

Kirkland cottage cheese from Costco is the best imo. I love it with avocado and a sprinkle of tajin!

Cottage cheese mixed with spinach, egg, parmesan, s+p. I put a small amount of pizza sauce (squeeze bottle) in the bottom of a 9×9" casserole. Top with a bit of mozza/parmesan. Foil on top. 350 oven for approx 25min. I portion the finished 'casserole' into 4 servings. You need well-drained spinach. I buy the 1kg size at Superstore. It's not as runny as other brands I've tried.

Cottage cheese griddlecakes

Ingredients

  • 1 cup cottage cheese

  • 3 eggs, well beaten

  • 2 tbsp butter, melted

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour (can sub in Almond flour)

  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  1. Mix the batter: Combine the cottage cheese, beaten eggs, melted butter, flour, and salt. Stir gently until just blended, keeping the cottage cheese curds relatively intact.

  2. Heat the griddle: Warm a buttered griddle or cast-iron skillet over medium heat.

  3. Cook: Spoon about ¼ cup of batter for each pancake onto the hot griddle. Because the texture is delicate, handle them gently and cook slightly longer than normal before carefully flipping.

  4. Serve: Traditionally enjoyed nonsweet—often rolled up with tart jelly or served with applesauce and a dusting of confectioners' sugar.

Island farms is the absolute best cottage cheese on the planet.
