Casserole with semolina - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes, you can replace sour cream with Greek yogurt or buttermilk for a similar tangy flavor and creamy texture. Keep in mind this may slightly change the moisture content, so add it gradually.
Store the casserole in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For best results, reheat individual portions in the oven or a toaster oven to maintain the texture.
Absolutely. Simply replace the semolina with a gluten-free flour blend that's meant for baking. You might need to adjust the liquid content slightly, so add a tablespoon of milk or water at a time until you reach the right consistency.
Yes, this casserole freezes well. Cool it completely, then wrap individual portions tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight and reheat in the oven until warmed through.
Absolutely! For added texture and flavor, consider folding in 1/2 cup of raisins, dried cranberries, or chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans into the batter before baking. This adds a nice crunch and sweetness.
You can reduce the sugar by half without majorly affecting the texture. Alternatively, use a natural sweetener like stevia or monk fruit sweetener, but be aware this might change the browning. Start by replacing half the sugar and adjust to taste.
This casserole is delicious on its own, but it's also wonderful served warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. For a brunch option, pair it with fresh berries and a dusting of powdered sugar.
