Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make a casserole with semolina and raisins without sour cream in the oven? Prepare all ingredients according to the list. In order for the casserole to be tender but dense, it is better to use homemade cottage cheese with a high fat content. Eggs can be used in any size. If they are very small, then you can add one more. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Combine cottage cheese, eggs, sugar, vanilla sugar and a pinch of salt in a suitable container. Mix until smooth using a blender. You will learn all the subtleties of choosing cottage cheese by reading the article at the end of this recipe.

3. STEP 3

   

   Now add semolina to the curd mass, mix well with a spoon or silicone spatula and leave for 30-40 minutes. The article at the end of this recipe will help you decide on the choice of semolina for the casserole.

4. STEP 4

   

   Pour boiling water over the raisins and leave to swell for a while. Drain the water from the raisins, dry them with a napkin or paper towel, add to the curd mass and mix well again.

5. STEP 5

   

   Melt the butter in the microwave or in a water bath. If you have a ceramic or glass dish, grease it with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Line a springform pan with good quality parchment. The silicone mold does not need to be lubricated with anything.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place the curd mixture, smooth it out and use a pastry brush to evenly distribute half the melted butter on top of the casserole. Bake in an oven preheated to 180 degrees for about 40 minutes. The times are approximate, be guided by the operating characteristics of your oven. Read more about this in the article below the steps.

   The finished casserole will become an appetizing, golden color. Remove it from the oven and once again brush the hot top with the second half of the butter. Leave to cool in the mold. Cut the cooled cottage cheese casserole into pieces and place on prepared plates. Serve with sour cream, jam, etc. Bon appetit!

I found a recipe on the website for cottage cheese casserole with semolina and raisins without sour cream in the oven. I liked the composition and decided to make it. Only my daughter refused raisins; she doesn’t like additives. But for those who like fillings, you can add candied fruits, dried apricots, prunes, dates and other dried fruits to the casserole. I mixed the dough with 800 g of cottage cheese, changing the proportions, which is very convenient. I have 9% moist cottage cheese, which is what I like best. I took three small eggs. Sprinkled the semolina with a level tablespoon. I took 50 g less sugar, but that’s not for everyone. Beat the curd mass with an immersion blender until smooth, and after 20 minutes beat the thickened dough again. Bake for 45 minutes at 180°C in a glass dish with a diameter of 22 cm. Before baking, pour melted butter on top. The remaining oil accumulated in the middle of the finished casserole, and it was used to “smear” the rosy surface. The cottage cheese casserole delighted my whole family! Usually, when adding semolina, the casserole turns out stable, but a little dry. This time it turned out juicy and tender! At the same time, it cuts into pieces perfectly! The taste is delicious, creamy, and smells like vanilla!
