Greetings, fighters against kilograms and centimeters. We are back in the kitchen, at the forefront of the problem “What should I eat to lose weight?”
Today my guest is the well-deserved heroine of all low-calorie menus - dietary cottage cheese casserole.
I started the topic of using cottage cheese in diets in the article . For those who haven't read it, I recommend it. Now let's continue...
Classic cottage cheese casserole
Once upon a time, in kindergarten and school age, we all ate cottage cheese casserole with sour cream. Of all the school lunches, this is the one I remember most fondly. I can’t say the same about pasta, cutlets and soups. .
The classic cottage cheese casserole consists of cottage cheese, flour, eggs and sugar. You have already met this set of products in my article about.
Yes, cottage cheese casserole - Native sister cheesecakes and the grandmother of all cheesecakes from the article . These merits of hers encouraged me to continue the conversation about dietary products with cottage cheese.
Let's start preparing a classic cottage cheese casserole.
Ingredients:
- Cottage cheese -500 g;
- eggs - 3 pcs;
- flour - 150 g;
- sugar - 50 g;
- vanilla sugar - 1 sachet (11 g);
- sunflower oil - 10 ml. (to lubricate the mold).
Preparation:
Grind cottage cheese with sugar and eggs. It is better to do this with a blender or masher so that there are no hard lumps left.
Add flour and mix well. Grease the mold sunflower oil and sprinkle with flour. Shake out excess flour from the pan.
Using a spoon, carefully spoon the curd mixture into the mold. Smooth the surface with a spoon or spatula.
It is possible, but not necessary, to grease the surface of the product with sour cream to form a golden brown crust.
Bake in the oven at 180 degrees for about 20-35 minutes.
The baking time varies so much because it depends on the height of the contents in the pan. If the initial height is 2 cm, then 20 minutes.
If the mold is small and the initial height of the raw dough is 4 cm, then you need to bake for at least 35 minutes.
A height of more than 5 cm should not be made. Better take two forms. Otherwise, the inside of the dish will not be baked, and the outside crust will be too dark, with a bitter aftertaste.
If there is no other form, you will have to reduce the baking temperature and increase the time.
After baking, the finished product should be allowed to cool slightly. Then turn the casserole out of the pan onto a plate. The finished casserole should not be cut immediately so that the knife does not stick.
The dish can be eaten either warm or cold.
Diet casserole in the microwave
Casserole, unlike cheesecakes, is already dietary dish. The cheesecakes are fried, and the casserole is called that because it is baked in the oven.
Modern baking options - in the oven or slow cooker . But diet lovers even create curd masterpieces in the microwave . I advise you to watch the video: Fast, simple, dietary!
Recommendations for reducing the calorie content of cottage cheese baked goods
To make the casserole more dietary, you can do several things to reduce the calorie content of the main ingredients.
- Reduce the number of eggs or eliminate them completely. You can add airiness to the dish by adding it to the dough. slaked soda. It is not necessary to bind the ingredients together with an egg in the baking dough, since cooking happens in the form.
- Baking dough can be very liquid, so even the cottage cheese itself can be partially replaced with another fermented milk product - kefir or yogurt. The number of calories will decrease, but the shape and taste will change.
- You can replace wheat flour with whole wheat or oatmeal flour. Often flour in a recipe is replaced with semolina. The finished baked goods become more crumbly with a delicate texture. However, the calorie content of semolina is almost the same as wheat flour. In this case, the amount of semolina needs to be made less than the amount of flour. Not suitable for weight loss.
- For a dietary casserole, it is advisable to avoid sugar. You can add sweetness to the dish by adding dried fruits to the dough.
- If you use fresh fruits and vegetables rather than dried fruits, the calorie content of the entire dish will be minimal.
Sweet curd pastries
To diversify the taste of your usual casserole, add ready dough Sweet ingredients instead of sugar.
- Dried fruits.For example, raisins, dried apricots, prunes, figs, any dry berries, pitted cherries. Dried fruits can be mixed evenly with the dough, or they can be laid out in a separate layer between the curd layers.
- Fruits and berries. For example, apples, plums, peaches, apricots, cherries, oranges and other fresh, frozen or canned fruits (berries). It is better to cut the fruits into thin slices or small cubes. The finished product will be elegant. If you prepare puree, the baked goods will have a uniform texture.
- Confiture, marmalade, jam, preserves. These sweet ingredients make curd baked goods attractive to children, but are completely unsuitable for dietary nutrition.
I love casserole myself with blackcurrant . Sour taste, wonderful color and aroma. But my mom likes it better with apples.
Unsweetened curd pastries
Feeding a child cottage cheese or carrots is not at all easy. That's probably why carrot casserole with cottage cheese is the most unpopular so far. Although from a dietary point of view, it is the most useful.
Curd and carrot casserole can be either sweet or savory. A savory casserole with the addition of fresh vegetables and herbs can be an excellent second course.
Vegetables for unsweetened cottage cheese baking can be used finely chopped raw or pre-stewed.
In addition to carrots, pumpkin, zucchini, zucchini, tomato, etc. go well with cottage cheese. cauliflower and broccoli.
The mixture is prepared from cottage cheese, eggs and flour (semolina) without sugar. Add salt. but we won't. You can also chop greens: dill, parsley.
The vegetables in the casserole preparation can be mixed and then placed in the pan. You can do it differently: put the curd mass and a layer of vegetables into the mold in layers.
There is another curd mass on top. To obtain an appetizing crust, sometimes the top of the dish is sprinkled with grated cheese. This will definitely add calories, but it looks delicious.
Non-standard recipe
I was already finishing work on the article when they sent it to me unique recipe casseroles without flour and semolina , without eggs and sugar, with bananas.
For a pack of cottage cheese (250 grams) take three overripe bananas and half a glass of chopped oatmeal.
Bananas are pureed in a blender and mixed with oatmeal. Cottage cheese is added to the mixture and thoroughly beaten again.
The mixture should stand at room temperature for about 20 minutes for the flakes to swell. Then quench a quarter teaspoon of baking soda with lemon juice and mix with the curd mass. Place in a greased pan and bake for 30-35 minutes at 180 degrees.
I cooked it and tried it. Tasty, aromatic. I didn’t and don’t count calories. On the one hand, we remove flour, eggs and sugar altogether.
On the other hand, three bananas - nutritionists may be against them, they say they have a lot of sugar and are high in calories. However, I don't think so. It is a product of nature.
Banana pulp contains many useful substances: beta-carotene, pectin, vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, PP, as well as potassium, calcium, magnesium, iron, fluorine, phosphorus and sodium, fructose and fiber. Look at the monkeys who eat bananas all their lives - are they fat?!
