Cottage cheese casserole "Chef's Tricks"

Greetings, fighters against kilograms and centimeters. We are back in the kitchen, at the forefront of the problem “What should I eat to lose weight?”

Today my guest is the well-deserved heroine of all low-calorie menus - dietary cottage cheese casserole.

I started the topic of using cottage cheese in diets in the article . For those who haven't read it, I recommend it. Now let's continue...

Classic cottage cheese casserole

Once upon a time, in kindergarten and school age, we all ate cottage cheese casserole with sour cream. Of all school breakfasts, she is the one I remember with love. I can’t say the same about pasta, cutlets and soups. .

The classic cottage cheese casserole consists of cottage cheese, flour, eggs and sugar. You have already met this set of products in my article about.

Yes, cottage cheese casserole is the sister of cheesecakes and the grandmother of all cottage cheese cakes from the article . These merits of hers encouraged me to continue talking about dietary products with cottage cheese.

Let's start cooking classic casserole from cottage cheese.

Ingredients:

• Cottage cheese -500 g;
• eggs - 3 pcs;
• flour - 150 g;
• sugar - 50 g;
• vanilla sugar - 1 sachet (11 g);
• sunflower oil - 10 ml. (to lubricate the mold).

Preparation:

Grind cottage cheese with sugar and eggs. It is better to do this with a blender or masher so that there are no hard lumps left.

Add flour and mix well. Grease the mold sunflower oil and sprinkle with flour. Shake out excess flour from the pan.

Using a spoon, carefully spoon the curd mixture into the mold. Smooth the surface with a spoon or spatula.

It is possible, but not necessary, to grease the surface of the product with sour cream to form a golden brown crust.

Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 20-35 minutes.

The baking time varies so much because it depends on the height of the contents in the pan. If the initial height is 2 cm, then 20 minutes.

If the mold is small and the initial height of the raw dough is 4 cm, then you need to bake for at least 35 minutes.

A height of more than 5 cm should not be made. Better take two forms. Otherwise, the inside of the dish will not be baked, and the outside crust will be too dark, with a bitter aftertaste.

If there is no other form, you will have to reduce the baking temperature and increase the time.

After baking, the finished product should be allowed to cool slightly. Then turn the casserole out of the pan onto a plate. The finished casserole should not be cut immediately so that the knife does not stick.

The dish can be eaten either warm or cold.

Diet casserole in the microwave

Casserole, unlike cheesecakes, is already a dietary dish. The cheesecakes are fried, and the casserole is called that because it is baked in the oven.

Modern baking options - in the oven or slow cooker . But diet lovers even create curd masterpieces in the microwave . I advise you to watch the video: Fast, simple, dietary!

Recommendations for reducing the calorie content of cottage cheese baked goods

To make the casserole more dietary, you can do several things to reduce the calorie content of the main ingredients.

1. Reduce the number of eggs or eliminate them completely. You can add airiness to the dish by adding slaked soda to the dough. It is not necessary to bind the ingredients together with an egg in the baking dough, since cooking happens in the form.
2. Baking dough can be very liquid, so even the cottage cheese itself can be partially replaced with another fermented milk product- kefir or yogurt. The number of calories will decrease, but the shape and taste will change.
3. You can replace wheat flour with whole grain flour or oatmeal. Often flour in a recipe is replaced with semolina. Ready baked goods becomes more crumbly with delicate texture. However, the calorie content of semolina is almost the same as wheat flour. In this case, the amount of semolina needs to be made less than the amount of flour. Not suitable for weight loss.
4. For a dietary casserole, it is advisable to avoid sugar. You can add sweetness to the dish by adding dried fruits to the dough.
5. If you use not dried fruits, but fresh fruits and vegetables, then the calorie content of the entire dish will be minimal.

Sweet curd pastries

To diversify the taste of your usual casserole, add ready dough Sweet ingredients instead of sugar.

• Dried fruits.For example, raisins, dried apricots, prunes, figs, any dry berries, pitted cherries. Dried fruits can be mixed evenly with the dough, or they can be laid out in a separate layer between the curd layers.
• Fruits and berries. For example, apples, plums, peaches, apricots, cherries, oranges and other fresh, frozen or canned fruits (berries). It is better to cut the fruits into thin slices or small cubes. The finished product will be elegant. If you prepare puree, the baked goods will have a uniform texture.
• Confiture, marmalade, jam, preserves. These sweet ingredients make curd baked goods attractive to children, but are completely unsuitable for dietary nutrition.

I love casserole myself with blackcurrant . Sour taste, wonderful color and aroma. But my mom likes it better with apples.

Unsweetened curd pastries

Feeding a child cottage cheese or carrots is not at all easy. That's probably why carrot casserole with cottage cheese is the most unpopular so far. Although from a dietary point of view, it is the most useful.

Curd and carrot casserole can be either sweet or savory. Unsweetened casserole with added fresh vegetables and herbs can be an excellent second course.

Vegetables for savory cottage cheese baking You can use finely chopped raw or pre-stew.

In addition to carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, zucchini, tomato, etc. go well with cottage cheese. cauliflower and broccoli.

The mixture is prepared from cottage cheese, eggs and flour (semolina) without sugar. Add salt. but we won't. You can also chop greens: dill, parsley.

The vegetables in the casserole preparation can be mixed and then placed in the pan. You can do it differently: put the curd mass and a layer of vegetables into the mold in layers.

There is another curd mass on top. For getting delicious crust Sometimes the top of the dish is sprinkled with grated cheese. This will definitely add calories, but it looks delicious.

Non-standard recipe

I was already finishing work on the article when they sent it to me unique recipe casseroles without flour and semolina , without eggs and sugar, with bananas.

For a pack of cottage cheese (250 grams) take three overripe bananas and half a glass of chopped oatmeal.

Bananas are pureed in a blender and mixed with oatmeal. Cottage cheese is added to the mixture and thoroughly beaten again.

The mixture should stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes for the flakes to swell. Then put out a quarter teaspoon of baking soda lemon juice and mix with the curd mass. Place in a greased pan and bake for 30-35 minutes at 180 degrees.

I cooked it and tried it. Tasty, aromatic. I didn’t and don’t count calories. On the one hand, we remove flour, eggs and sugar altogether.

On the other hand, three bananas - nutritionists may be against them, they say they have a lot of sugar and are high in calories. However, I don't think so. It is a product of nature.

Banana pulp contains many useful substances: beta-carotene, pectin, vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, PP, as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, fluorine, phosphorus and sodium, fructose and fiber. Look at the monkeys who eat bananas all their lives - are they fat?!

What do you think? Can this recipe be called dietary? I look forward to your comments.

Any person who has at least once tried to fight excess weight through self-restraint in the diet (in other words, went on a strict diet) knows how hard and difficult it is: giving up your favorite foods, constantly feeling hungry, trying to run past shelves with forbidden products...

Meanwhile, there are dishes that allow you to get rid of extra pounds and centimeters, and at the same time feel completely full, and the body receives nutrients in full.

Of course, we are talking about casseroles. They are suitable for both diets and baby food, for breakfast, lunch and dinner. For those who fast, there are lean casseroles.

Secrets of dietary casseroles

This dish was simply created to dispel prejudices that dietary dishes– tasteless. They are very tasty! There are simply certain tricks and subtleties that those who decide to introduce casseroles into their diet need to know.

The very first thing - calorie content often depends not on the food, but on the type of cooking. Fried foods are much higher in calories than baked foods.

The second is meat. Of course, to lose weight you need to give up all smoked meats, fatty ham, and fatty meats in general. But lean meat can be safely added to casseroles. The best dietary meat is chicken.

Herbs and spices will add pungency and piquancy to dietary casseroles. In addition to the traditional black ground pepper, you can add:

• turmeric;
• saffron;
• cardamom;
• ginger;
• coriander and others.

A few words about sugar. Find a replacement for him. But if you decide to entrust this mission to dried fruits, remember how many calories they contain: for example, 100 grams of raisins contain 264 kilocalories. For comparison: in the same quantity minced pork kilocalories 263.

If you want something sweet, it’s better to prepare a cottage cheese casserole with apples and a little honey. Although it is slightly higher in calories than dried fruits, it will take very little for the cottage cheese to become sweetish.

Regarding honey: it comes in different forms, and counterfeit honey is also not uncommon. There are many ways to check honey for authenticity, from simple folk methods to highly accurate laboratory tests. To check whether sugar has been added to our product, just put a little honey in a glass of weak tea. If there is no sugar in honey, the tea will darken but remain clear.

Dietary cottage cheese casserole: tricks and useful tips

Due to the fact that all products in the presented recipes are prepared either in the oven, or in a slow cooker or microwave, much more nutrients are retained in them than when fried. However there are several simple tips and life hacks that it doesn’t hurt to remember so that the cooking process itself never becomes a burden to you.

• If we talk about the oven, then the best option will use a cast iron frying pan with high sides as a form. It holds the temperature well and prevents the dish from burning. It is clear that this option is not suitable for a microwave. For this type of oven, it is better to use glass, ceramics or silicone; fortunately, the market offers a large selection of different molds.
• To ensure that the casserole is tender, homogeneous and does not contain lumps, which many people do not like, you need to rub the cottage cheese through a sieve. You can also grind it with a blender or mixer, or pass it through a meat grinder.
• Any fruits, berries and even vegetables added to the dough will provide excess moisture, which will need to either be evaporated during the cooking process or compensated with flour, semolina, or oatmeal.
• You can prepare the casserole in a water bath. It turns out very juicy. Some people simply put a container of water in the oven to make the baked goods more tender.

As soon as the dish is baked, it must be immediately removed from the oven. It is not at all necessary to eat it hot, but removing the casserole while hot means keeping it intact. Once cooled in the oven, slow cooker or microwave, it may simply fall apart in your hands.
