Grated pie with cottage cheese

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make grated pie with cottage cheese? Prepare your food. First to prepare the dough. Take the best quality butter that complies with GOST. Remove it from the refrigerator in advance to soften it. The fat content of the cream can be any.

2. STEP 2

   

   Prepare the dough. How to make the dough? Take a large bowl and sift the flour into it. This will not only remove debris, but also saturate the flour with oxygen, which will make the dough fluffier and airier.

3. STEP 3

   

   Add baking powder to the flour and mix it well. Beat in the eggs, after washing and drying them with napkins. Add butter, sugar, pour in cream.

4. STEP 4

   

   Knead the dough, first with a spoon and then with your hands. Kneading it is not at all difficult; the dough will quickly stop being sticky and come together into a ball.

5. STEP 5

   

   Divide the dough into two parts, wrap them in film or put them in bags. Place the dough in the freezer for 30 minutes. It should harden and then it will be much easier to grate it.

6. STEP 6

   

   While the dough is chilling, make the filling. Prepare food for her. Cottage cheese is suitable for any fat content, the main thing is that it is of high quality, without milk fat substitutes. Also use any cream.

7. STEP 7

   

   How to make the filling? Place cottage cheese, cream and sugar in a bowl. If you wish, you can add vanilla in any form to the filling.

8. STEP 8

   

   Beat the cottage cheese with sugar and cream with an immersion blender until smooth and paste-like. If you don't have a blender, press the cottage cheese through a sieve before adding sugar and cream. In any case, the filling made from pureed cottage cheese is much softer and tastier, so don’t skip this step.

9. STEP 9

   

   Take a baking dish. It can be of any shape and from any material. I have a round, detachable one with a diameter of 20 cm. Line the mold with baking paper. I only covered the bottom since I have a non-stick coating. With paper it will be easier to remove the pie. Remove one portion of dough from the freezer. Grate the dough directly into the pan using a coarse grater. It will be more convenient to do this by holding the dough in the bag with your hand.

10. STEP 10

    

    Spread the grated dough evenly over the bottom of the pan. Don't pack it too hard. Grated pie is good precisely because its dough looks like coarse crumbs.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the curd mixture on the dough layer and smooth it out with a spoon. You can put any additives on top of the cottage cheese - raisins, chopped chocolate, berries, jam.

12. STEP 12

    

    Take out the second part of the dough and grate it in the same way. This time it is better to rub it on a board. Transfer the grated dough onto the cottage cheese, forming the top layer.

13. STEP 13

    

    Bake the pie in an oven preheated to 180°C (I have an electric oven, top-bottom mode) for 30-40 minutes. The top should be browned. Remove the finished pie from the oven and cool completely. Then remove from the mold and cut into portions.

14. STEP 14

    

    Serve the pie with tea or coffee; you can additionally decorate it with berries and mint leaves. Bon appetit!

I prepared grated pie with cottage cheese for tea. First I made the dough following the recipe. I divided it into two parts, wrapped each in cling film and put it in the freezer for 30 minutes. As it turned out later, I could have kept the dough longer, since it didn’t harden at all inside the koloboks and it wasn’t very convenient to grate it. The cottage cheese for the filling was dry and lumpy, so I added a few teaspoons to it. milk, sugar, vanillin on the tip of a knife and punched with a blender until smooth. First, I grated one bun into the mold, laid out the cottage cheese and laid the grated dough from the second bun on top. I baked the pie longer than recommended in the recipe, but this is a feature of my oven. The pie turned out a little golden brown, baked, with a delicate curd filling. I liked it even more when it was completely cooled than when it was still warm. Great recipe, thanks to the author!

According to all canons, eggs go into the curd filling, and if they don’t, then it’s like a cream and cannot be heat treated! As a result, a beautiful top and a wet boiled bottom 😶‍🌫️
