Looking for a collection of cottage cheese recipes for people who don't like cottage cheese? You've come to the right place. From breakfasts to healthy main dishes to appetizers, cottage cheese flies under the radar in these seriously tasty recipes even haters won't be able to resist!
Cottage cheese haters, hello, welcome. You're among friends here.
As someone who thinks about food 24/7, appreciates the nutritional aspects of cottage cheese, and quite frankly has never been able to bring herself to try it by itself (shudder), I decided to get down to business figuring out ways to use it in recipes where I could reap its calcium- and protein-rich benefits without seeing it or tasting it - at all.
This list of ten recipes and counting truly rises to the occasion to deliver excellent flavor, hearty nutrition, and no trace of curds or cottage cheese flavor in sight.
And I don't say that lightly. I've seen some social media-trendy cottage cheese recipes that are straight-up not appealing. There are none of those here.
Note: This collection of cottage cheese recipes will be kept updated as new ones appear on the site, so pin the image above to bookmark it for later!
What Type of Cottage Cheese to Buy
Because all of these are blended cottage cheese recipes, large or small curd size doesn't matter. You will likely see 2-4% milk fat options at the store, as well as fat-free. I don't personally go for fat-free as I find a little bit of fat is often welcome for taste purposes, but go with either 2-4%. One drawback of cottage cheese is that it can have higher levels of sodium, but they sell lower- or no-sodium varieties if needed, too.
