Cottage cheese and carrot casserole - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute semolina with another ingredient in this casserole?

Yes, you can use all-purpose flour or almond flour as a substitute for semolina, but the texture may vary slightly. All-purpose flour will yield a softer result, while almond flour works for a low-carb option.

How should I store leftover cottage cheese and carrot casserole?

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze individual portions for up to 2 months.

Can I make this casserole vegan?

Yes! Replace the egg with a flax egg (1 Tbsp flaxseed meal + 2.5 Tbsp water), use dairy-free cottage cheese or tofu, and swap butter for coconut oil or vegan butter.

What’s the best way to reheat this casserole?

For best results, reheat in the oven at 160°C (320°F) for 10-15 minutes. Microwave in 30-second intervals if short on time, but it may soften the texture.

Can I add other vegetables to this casserole?

Absolutely! Grated zucchini, sweet potato, or apples would complement the flavors well. Just ensure excess moisture is squeezed out before adding.

Is this recipe suitable for meal prep?

Yes! It reheats well and can be portioned for meals. For variety, top with fresh fruit, nuts, or a drizzle of honey before serving.

Can I use pre-shredded carrots instead of grating them fresh?

Yes, but fresh-grated carrots yield better moisture control and texture. If using pre-shredded, pat them dry with a paper towel to prevent excess liquid.

What’s a good low-sugar alternative for this recipe?

Replace sugar with a natural sweetener like mashed ripe bananas, unsweetened applesauce, or a sugar substitute like erythritol. Adjust quantities to taste.
