Cottage cheese has made a big comeback thanks to social media recipes. It's high in protein, mild in flavour and surprisingly versatile.

8 ways to use it

  1. Sweet bowl: top with berries, honey and granola.
  2. Savoury bowl: add cucumber, tomatoes, olive oil, salt and pepper.
  3. On toast: spread on toast with sliced tomato or avocado.
  4. Blended pasta sauce: blend with garlic and parmesan for a creamy sauce.
  5. Fluffy scrambled eggs: stir a spoonful into eggs as they cook.
  6. Dip: blend with herbs and lemon for a quick dip.
  7. Pancakes: add to pancake batter for extra fluffiness and protein.
  8. Baked potato topping: a lighter alternative to sour cream.
Not a fan of the texture?Blend it until smooth. It becomes creamy, like ricotta or cream cheese.

Storage

Keep cottage cheese refrigerated and eat it within a few days of opening. Check the use-by date.
