Milk filling for casserole. Cottage cheese casserole with sour cream filling

Each national cuisine has its own variations on this theme. In France, for example, potato gratin is popular. It is prepared from sliced ​​potatoes, cheese, cream and baked in the oven. Moussaka is a Greek-style casserole made from thin slices of eggplant layered with minced meat (usually lamb), filled with tomato and vegetable sauce, and sprinkled with cheese on top to give it a golden crust. The Finns love to cook a casserole with the complex name “kaalilatikko” from cabbage with meat. Finely chopped onions are fried, the cabbage is boiled, everything is put into a mold, and the minced meat is laid out. Breadcrumbs are soaked in half a glass of cream in advance, and then another half glass of water is added and also poured into the mold. Bake for two and a half hours and serve with sour berry jelly.

Italians have recipes for a wide variety of casseroles - both cottage cheese and vegetable ones. By the way, lasagna, known all over the world, is also nothing more than a type of casserole.

Even an amateur cook can prepare a vegetable casserole. Take your favorite vegetables, cut them into cubes or slices, season with heavy cream and pop them in the oven. Sprinkle the finished dish with grated cheese. You can safely add mushrooms to any vegetable version, as well as various spices, herbs and roots.

Sweet casseroles - cottage cheese or fruit - will require more ingenuity. The basis of this dessert is cottage cheese, semolina or corn grits. Any berries or fruits are suitable as tasty additions. The main rule: juicy fruits must first be blanched in oil to remove excess water (otherwise the casserole risks turning into a cream soup). To keep the dish in shape, eggs and dairy products are mixed into it.

It is best to cook casseroles in a cast iron pan, which guarantees even heat distribution. But the now popular Teflon molds are not suitable: their walls are thin, and the dish begins to burn. You can use ceramic molds. They are not only rectangular or round, but also in the form of flowers, stars, and animal figures. A casserole cooked in such decorative dishes will be an excellent decoration for the holiday table.

Each national cuisine has its own variations on this theme. In France, for example, potato gratin is popular. It is prepared from sliced ​​potatoes, cheese, cream and baked in the oven. Moussaka is a Greek-style casserole made from thin slices of eggplant layered with minced meat (usually lamb), filled with tomato and vegetable sauce, and sprinkled with cheese on top to give it a golden crust. The Finns love to cook a casserole with the complex name “kaalilatikko” from cabbage with meat. Finely chopped onions are fried, the cabbage is boiled, everything is put into a mold, and the minced meat is laid out. Breadcrumbs are soaked in half a glass of cream in advance, and then another half glass of water is added and also poured into the mold. Bake for two and a half hours and serve with sour berry jelly.

Italians have recipes for a wide variety of casseroles - both cottage cheese and vegetable ones. By the way, lasagna, known all over the world, is also nothing more than a type of casserole.

Even an amateur cook can prepare a vegetable casserole. Take your favorite vegetables, cut them into cubes or slices, season with heavy cream and pop them in the oven. Sprinkle the finished dish with grated cheese. You can safely add mushrooms to any vegetable version, as well as various spices, herbs and roots.

Sweet casseroles - cottage cheese or fruit - will require more ingenuity. The basis of this dessert is cottage cheese, semolina or corn grits. Any berries or fruits are suitable as tasty additions. The main rule: juicy fruits must first be blanched in oil to remove excess water (otherwise the casserole risks turning into a cream soup). To keep the dish in shape, eggs and dairy products are mixed into it.

It is best to cook casseroles in a cast iron pan, which guarantees even heat distribution. But the now popular Teflon molds are not suitable: their walls are thin, and the dish begins to burn. You can use ceramic molds. They are not only rectangular or round, but also in the form of flowers, stars, and animal figures.
