Recipe instructions

Step 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 casserole that is moderately moist, not dry and not grainy. Cottage cheese in briquettes with a fat content of 0 to 9% is ideal.

Step 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. If you already have boiled rice, then immediately proceed to step 5. You should get 200 grams of boiled rice. The exact amount of dry matter depends on the variety. On average you will need 50-70 g.

Step 3

Step 3
Place the cereal in a saucepan, pour 200 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.

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.

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

Step 8
