Cottage cheese casserole with rice in the oven

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make cottage cheese casserole with rice in the oven? Prepare the necessary ingredients for the casserole. It is better to take cottage cheese for the casserole that is moderately moist, not dry and not grainy. Cottage cheese in briquettes with a fat content of 0 to 9% is ideal.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the rice thoroughly until the water runs clear. You can use any rice - long-grain or short-grain, but preferably steamed, so that during cooking it retains its shape and does not become overcooked.

3. STEP 3

   

   Place the cereal in a saucepan, pour 400 ml of cold, clean water. Place the rice over medium heat and bring the water to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer, covered, until the liquid has completely evaporated, 15-20 minutes. It is better not to stir the rice during cooking so as not to damage the integrity of the grain. At the same time, you need to make sure that the rice does not burn on the bottom.

4. STEP 4

   

   Cool the finished rice. You can also boil the rice in a large amount of water (approx. 600 ml) until half cooked, about 10 minutes. While baking in the oven, the rice will be fully cooked.

5. STEP 5

   

   Rinse the raisins in warm water and dry, placing them on a sieve.

6. STEP 6

   

   Divide one of the three eggs into white and yolk. Leave the yolk to grease the surface of the casserole. Be sure to wash your eggs before using them, as even seemingly clean shells can harbor harmful bacteria. It is best to use food grade detergents and a brush.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place cottage cheese, two eggs and one white, sugar, vanilla sugar and salt into a blender bowl.

8. STEP 8

   

   Beat the mixture until smooth. It should turn out fluid and slightly viscous, without lumps of cottage cheese. Instead of a stationary blender, you can use a submersible blender.

9. STEP 9

   

   Place boiled rice in a bowl, pour in the curd and egg mixture, add raisins. Mix everything carefully with a spatula.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the curd-rice mixture into a baking dish greased with butter and smooth it out. If the mold is silicone, it is not necessary to grease it.

11. STEP 11

    

    Brush the surface of the casserole with the remaining egg yolk.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the casserole in an oven preheated to 180°C for 30-35 minutes. During this time, the top and sides will turn golden brown. Cool the finished casserole slightly, remove from the pan, cut into pieces and serve. Bon appetit!

Instead of raisins, you can put prunes in the rice casserole.

For breakfast I baked a cottage cheese casserole with rice in the oven. I used 5% cottage cheese, C1 category eggs, and short grain rice. I didn’t add raisins; my daughter doesn’t like them in ready-made food. I cooked the casserole in a cast iron dish with a diameter of 26 cm for 40 minutes. The casserole turned out to be very tasty. I often make cottage cheese casseroles for breakfast, but with rice it turned out especially satisfying. The casserole is good both hot and cold. Maria, thank you very much for the excellent recipe!

The casserole is really tasty, both cold and hot, with sour cream. I immediately remember the smell of childhood and kindergarten. You can also add boiled small vermicelli instead of rice and raisins. I put less sugar, about half a glass, boil a glass of dry small vermicelli, the rest of the products in the same proportions, the casserole turns out very tender. And also, after half an hour of baking, I brush the casserole with beaten yolk and put it back in the oven, a beautiful crust is guaranteed! Maybe someone will try this!

Oh, I’ve made this very often, cottage cheese really goes great with rice, the rice absorbs all the moisture from the cottage cheese and it turns out juicy, voluminous, the casserole itself is very tasty! Oksana, of course, it’s delicious with noodles, I’ve made this too, because casseroles are generally great for both breakfast and dinner. A hearty and tasty dish, it seems to me that everyone loves them, with dried fruits or fruits you can diversify each time. Nothing can spoil it)))

It’s an interesting idea to add rice, I’ve been cooking this casserole for as long as I can, I’ve never added rice, although as Shura already said, it should be very tasty, all the rice will absorb all the excess moisture. I'll have to try it, thanks for the recipe!
