Cottage Cheese Filling Recipes

COTTAGE CHEESE PEROGIES

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, mix together the cottage cheese, egg yolks, and 3/4 teaspoon of salt. Set aside.
• In a separate bowl, mix together the flour, 1 teaspoon of salt, and baking powder. Pour in the vegetable oil and cold water, and mix or knead into a smooth dough.
• Roll dough out on a lightly floured surface, and cut into 3 inch circles using a glass, can, or cookie cutter. Place a spoonful of the cottage cheese filling onto each circle. Fold in half, and pinch the edges together to seal.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Carefully drop the perogies into the water, and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, or until they float. Remove from water with a slotted spoon, and place on a cooling rack set over a baking sheet to drain excess water.

CREPES WITH COTTAGE CHEESE FILLING

Steps:

• For the crepes batter, place all the ingredients except the oil into a blender and blend until smooth and combined.
• Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Slightly brush the skillet with oil and pour about 1/4 - 1/3 cup of the batter on the preheated skillet and swirl it around just to cover the bottom, making the crepe as thin as possible.
• Cook until the top comes to dry and the underside is golden; turn and cook on the second side for about 20 seconds.
• Transfer the crêpe to a plate or a cutting board. Repeat with the remaining batter.

COTTAGE CHEESE BLINTZES

Steps:

• Whisk together the eggs, milk, and 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a bowl; gradually add in the flour, whisking to remove all lumps.
• Brush a small skillet with 1 teaspoon vegetable oil, and heat over medium-high heat. Pour about 2 tablespoons of batter per crepe into the heated skillet, and tilt the pan to completely cover the surface with batter. Crepes should be about 5 inches in diameter. Cook the crepes until golden on the bottom, and set but not wet on top, 1 to 2 minutes per crepe. Don't flip the crepes. Set the cooked crepes aside.
• Mix the cottage cheese, egg yolks, sugar, and lemon juice in a bowl until very well combined. To fill, place a crepe in front of you on a work surface with the cooked side up, and place about 1/4 cup of cheese filling in the center of the crepe. Fold the right and left edges of the crepe over the filling, and roll the crepe over to seal the filling in, making a compact little roll filled with cheese. Set the blintzes aside.
• Heat 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat, and place the filled blintzes into the hot skillet. Pan-fry the blintzes until golden brown on each side, about 2 minutes per side. Eat hot or cold.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, whisk the eggs, cottage cheese, maple syrup and vanilla (if you see very large clumps of cottage cheese, try to break them up or smash them with a fork).
• In another bowl, whisk the flour, baking powder and salt. Add it to the bowl with the wet ingredients and mix until a smooth batter forms.
• Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat, then add a bit of butter to coat. Scoop out 1/4 cup portions of batter and cook the pancakes until golden brown on one side, adjusting the heat so it doesn't brown too fast. Flip and cook until cooked through and no longer gooey at the edges (the batter will ooze out a bit at the sides; just keep cooking until it is fully cooked, adjusting the heat as necessary so it doesn't brown too fast). Place the pancakes in a stack under an overturned bowl, and cook the second batch of pancakes.
• Serve immediately, topped with pure maple syrup.
