Cottage Cheese Casserole with Dried Fruit

Cottage cheese casserole with dried fruit is a hearty, satisfying breakfast made from cottage cheese, egg yolks and condensed milk with prunes, dried apricots and raisins. It bakes for about an hour at 180°C, then rests overnight in the fridge, so the texture turns dense and tender. I recommend making it the evening before, so you have a delicious breakfast ready in the morning. Enjoy!

Ingredients

  

• 600 g cottage cheese
• 3 egg yolks
• 250 g condensed milk
• 100 g dried fruit prunes, dried apricots, raisins

Method

 

1. Pour boiling water over the dried fruit - prunes, dried apricots and raisins - and let sit for a couple of minutes. Drain, dry, and chop into small pieces.
   
2. Beat the cottage cheese, egg yolks and condensed milk with a mixer until light and fluffy. Add the dried fruit and mix.
   
3. Transfer the mixture to a greased baking dish - I use a square one.
   
4. Bake for about an hour at 180°C. Remove the casserole and let it cool, then wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight so it can set.
   
5. In the morning, cut the casserole into pieces - and breakfast is ready. Enjoy!
   

Tips

• Dried fruit: soak it in boiling water for a couple of minutes, dry it and chop it finely - it softens and blends into the mix better.
• Resting: the overnight rest in the fridge under plastic wrap is essential - the casserole slices better and the flavor comes through.
