Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to make an airy casserole? Prepare food for her. Take fatty cottage cheese, it will make the most delicious casserole. Keep in mind that the calorie content will then be high. If the cottage cheese is dry, then add a small amount of sour cream or natural yogurt. With this amount of sugar you will get a casserole of medium sweetness, adjust to your taste. Instead of flour, you can use corn starch, it will turn out even more tender.

Step 2

Step 2
Divide the eggs into whites and yolks. Try to do this as carefully as possible so that the yolk does not get into the whites; even a drop of it can prevent them from whipping. Place the whites in the refrigerator.

Step 3

Step 3
Add sugar, cottage cheese, vanillin and flour to the yolks.

Step 4

Step 4
Blend all ingredients with an immersion blender. Donʼt skip this step. After beating, the mass will become very tender and homogeneous, which will make the casserole airy and soft. Simply stirring the cottage cheese will not give such an effect. If you don’t have a blender, be sure to rub the cottage cheese through a sieve.

Step 5

Step 5
Remove the whites from the refrigerator. Add a pinch of salt to them — this will help them fluff up and enhance the flavor of the rest of the ingredients in the casserole. Beat the whites with a mixer until they form stiff peaks — this is a condition when the mixer blades leave obvious marks that do not fall off after the end of beating.

Add the whites to the main mixture.

Step 7

Step 7
Gently fold the egg whites into the curd using a silicone spatula or whisk. Do this with upward movements, as if you were burying squirrels. It is the air in the whipped egg whites that will raise the future casserole during baking.

Step 8

Step 8
Take a baking dish. The smaller the shape, the higher the casserole will turn out. Mine is 18 cm in diameter. Grease it with a small piece of butter.

Step 9

Step 9
Pour the dough into the mold and smooth the top.

Step 10

Step 10
Bake the casserole in the oven, preheated to 190°C, top-bottom mode, for 45-50 minutes. Focus on the appearance of the casserole — it should become golden brown. The casserole rises very much when baking, and then falls as it cools. This is ok because it cooks like a soufflé and has a similar texture. The casserole is delicious both warm and cold.
