A casserole of cottage cheese, sour cream and raisins, cooked in the oven, is a great idea for a hearty breakfast or a treat for tea. To make the curd mass fluffy, the recipe also uses semolina and eggs. Use fresh cottage cheese with a grainy structure and a pleasant milky smell. It is better to take homemade sour cream or dairy products made according to GOST, without additional additives.

How to cook Casserole with sour cream

Step 1

Pour semolina into a deep bowl. Add sour cream and mix well until smooth.

Step 2

Grind the cottage cheese into a completely homogeneous mass. The mass should be soft and smooth, similar to cream.

Step 3

Prepare the curd-sour cream mixture. Beat the eggs with sugar. Add the curd and sour cream with semolina. Add the raisins. The consistency of the mixture should be similar to that of muffin batter.

Grease a baking dish with butter. Put the curd mass in it. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Put the dish with the curd mass in it and bake for 30 minutes until a golden crust forms on top.

Casserole with sour cream - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute sour cream with yogurt in this recipe?

Yes, plain Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream as it has a similar texture and tanginess. Just ensure it's unsweetened to maintain the right flavor balance.

How can I make this casserole gluten-free?

Replace semolina with a gluten-free flour blend or almond flour for a gluten-free version. Adjust the quantity slightly as needed to achieve a muffin-batter-like consistency.

How long can I store the casserole, and what's the best way to reheat it?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 10-15 minutes or microwave individual portions for 30-60 seconds.

Can I freeze this casserole for later use?

Yes, you can freeze it after baking. Let it cool completely, wrap tightly in plastic or foil, and freeze for up to 2 months. Thaw in the fridge before reheating.

What can I use instead of raisins for added texture?

Dried cranberries, chopped apricots, or even chocolate chips make great alternatives to raisins for a different flavor and texture.

How can I make this recipe lower in sugar?

Reduce the sugar by half or use a natural sweetener like honey or maple syrup. The raisins already add natural sweetness, so adjust to taste.

What are some serving suggestions for this casserole?

Serve warm with a dollop of extra sour cream, fresh berries, or a drizzle of honey. It's great for breakfast, dessert, or a snack.

Can I make this dish ahead of time and bake it later?

Yes, prepare the mixture up to a day ahead, cover, and refrigerate. Bake just before serving, adding a few extra minutes if the batter is cold.

How can I tell when the casserole is fully baked?

The casserole is done when the top is golden brown, and the center is set. A toothpick inserted should come out clean or with a few moist crumbs.
