Tender Curd Casserole

Ingredients

• Cottage cheese 20 oz
• Whole egg 4 pieces
• Sugar 0 oz
• Semolina 0 oz
• Lemon 1 piece
• Dried Turkey to taste

Step-by-Step Guide

Step 1

Squeeze the cottage cheese through cheesecloth. Pass the cottage cheese through a sieve.

Step 2

Combine the egg yolks and sugar, and whisk until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns pale.

Step 3

Add the cottage cheese and mix until smooth.

Step 4

Add semolina and lemon zest, and mix well.

Step 5

Add the dried fruits. If they are tough, soak them in boiling water for 10 minutes beforehand.

Step 6

Mix the mixture well. Let it sit for half an hour: during this time, the semolina will swell, and the cheese mixture will become firmer.

Step 7

Transfer the mixture into a baking dish — choose the one you prefer. Smooth the mixture in the dish using a silicone spatula.

Step 8

Place the casserole in an oven preheated to 320°F for 1.5 hours.

Step 9

As soon as the casserole is golden brown, check it with a skewer. If it comes out clean, the casserole is ready.

Step 10

Cool the casserole, decorate it (for example, with candied fruits or fresh seasonal berries), and serve with sour cream.
