How to cook cottage cheese casserole in the microwave
The main secret lies in a small portion of the casserole. When cooking, say, in a slow cooker, we can use at least a kilogram of cottage cheese, and with it a large number of other ingredients. This causes a long baking time. In the case of a microwave, it is better to cook for two, but quickly and with a minimum of microwaves. The standard amount of cottage cheese for such a dish is 200-250 grams, in rare cases it can be increased to 500 grams.
In addition to the products listed in the recipe, anything interesting can be added to the raw curd mass. If cinnamon and dried fruits from the row of raisins-dried apricots-prunes are already boring, mix the preparation with fresh berries or fruits, but not citrus fruits.
Important! Fruits with a high juice content should be blanched in oil, and only then added to the dough. Otherwise, due to the high concentration of moisture, not a casserole will turn out, but a slightly seized curd liquid.
A special originality is a quick curd casserole, in which instead of sugar and vanillin they lay spices, garlic, pepper. Such pastries from dessert turn into an appetizer and can fit into the main menu of the feast.
The casserole is prepared in a glass, and preferably a silicone form. From the latter it is very convenient to extract ready meal. But metal containers and utensils with gold or silver edging are unacceptable in the microwave. Pay attention to the capacity of the form: in order to get a lush curd casserole with a small amount of raw materials, you should take a tray with a volume of about a liter.
The dish must be baked at a power of 800 watts. Since the equipment of different manufacturers has differences, the cooking time can vary significantly. One chef takes out a casserole after 5 minutes, while another will need at least 10-12 to bake the mass well. Here it is important not to forget to cover the form with a microwave lid, otherwise the cottage cheese will dry out.
Advice! If you do not have a special lid, cover the container cling film and pierce it a couple of times with a toothpick or knife.
As a result of these simple steps, tender dish, but not browned, as it happens when using oven. To make it look more attractive on the table, you can pour cocoa and powdered sugar on top of the casserole, grated chocolate, put honey or jam, berries, a leaf of fresh mint.
