Winter cottage cheese casserole with apples and cinnamon - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute cottage cheese with ricotta in this casserole?

Yes! Ricotta works well as a substitute for cottage cheese, offering a similarly creamy texture. Just note that ricotta is slightly milder, so you might want to add a pinch of salt or extra cinnamon for flavor.

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

The casserole keeps well in the fridge for up to 3 days when stored in an airtight container. For longer storage, you can freeze slices for up to 2 months—just thaw and reheat before serving.

Can I make this recipe gluten-free?

Absolutely! Swap regular flour for a gluten-free blend (1:1 ratio) and ensure your baking powder is certified gluten-free. The texture should remain similar.

What’s the best way to reheat this casserole without drying it out?

Cover the casserole with foil and warm it in the oven at 300°F (150°C) for 10–15 minutes. For a single slice, 30–60 seconds in the microwave with a damp paper towel over it works too.

Can I use a regular oven instead of a multicooker?

Yes! Bake in a greased dish at 350°F (180°C) for about 35–40 minutes, or until the top is golden and a toothpick comes out clean.

Are there low-sugar options for this recipe?

Reduce the sugar by half or use a natural sweetener like maple syrup or mashed bananas. The apples and cinnamon already add sweetness, so adjust to taste.

What other fruits can I use besides apples?

Pears, peaches, or berries (fresh or frozen) are great alternatives. If using juicy fruits like berries, pat them dry to prevent excess moisture in the casserole.

Can I prep this casserole ahead of time?

Yes! Assemble everything except the apples and cinnamon, cover, and refrigerate overnight. Add the apples and cinnamon just before baking to prevent browning.

How can I make this casserole more protein-rich?

Add a scoop of unflavored protein powder to the batter or mix in chopped nuts (like almonds or walnuts) for extra protein and crunch.

What’s a good serving suggestion for this casserole?

Serve warm with a dollop of Greek yogurt, a drizzle of honey, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for extra texture and flavor. It’s great for breakfast or dessert!

Kharcho with chicken

Total Reviews:

Usually kharcho is cooked in beef broth. But we decided to break the rules to get a slightly different, but no less tasty dish. Kharcho based on chicken will be more dietary, but in taste it will be the same famous Georgian soup, which you can easily

Three ingredients point to the Asian origin of this "Squirt": soju - the Korean national drink, the juice of the Asian citrus fruit yuzu and another citrus - pomelo.
