Ingredients

Cottage cheese - 17.6 oz
Sour Cream - 3 spoons
Chicken Egg - 4 pieces
Butter - 1.8 oz
Sugar - 3.5 oz
Semolina - 5.3 oz
Vanilla salt - 2 spoons
Candied fruits - 1.8 oz
Breadcrumbs - 2 spoons

Step by Step guide

Step 1

Mix the cottage cheese with sour cream, then add semolina, vanilla, and chopped candied fruits. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours to allow the semolina to swell. (The cottage cheese can be either full-fat or low-fat. It's best if it's soft but not watery.)

Step 2

Whisk the egg yolks with sugar, add the softened butter (set aside a small piece for greasing the pan), mix a little more, and combine with the cottage cheese mixture.

Step 3

Whip the egg whites. Gently fold them into the other ingredients.

Step 4

Grease a loaf pan with butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs. Pour the batter into the pan and bake until golden brown for 40-50 minutes.

Step 5

Carefully remove the finished casserole from the oven (to prevent it from sinking), let it cool in the pan, and then turn it out onto a plate. The casserole will look just like a cake.
