COOKING

Preparation of the recipe “Cottage cheese casserole with apricots”:

To make the casserole tender, rub the cottage cheese through a colander or sieve - or simply knead the lumps with your hands! Then add eggs, sugar to the curd and mix well.

Pour warm milk over the semolina and wait a little for the cereal to absorb the milk. To speed up the process, you can warm up the semolina with milk a little in the microwave.

Add semolina, softened butter and flour to the bowl with cottage cheese. Mix thoroughly again.

Wash the apricots, peel them and cut them in half. We'll leave a few apricots for decoration! Roll the pieces in flour so that the casserole does not become watery from the juice, and add to the curd mass. Mix carefully so as not to crush the apricots.

Place the curd-apricot mixture in a mold or frying pan, greased with a piece of butter and sprinkled with crackers, and decorate with fruit slices, as your imagination dictates!

And then put it in a moderately preheated oven. Our culinary masterpiece needs to be baked at 150 – 180°C for about 45 minutes – 1 hour. A few minutes before it’s ready (test with a wooden stick), turn up the heat briefly so that the casserole browns. Ready! We take the beauty out of the oven, let it cool so that it does not crumble, and move it from the mold to a plate. Bon appetit!

You can do without custard; cottage cheese casserole with apricots will still be delicious. After standing in the refrigerator, the curd dessert will slightly change its taste and become even better!

Sour cream – 4 tablespoons;
Vanilla sugar – 1 teaspoon;
Butter – 20 g;

for custard:

Milk – 1 glass;
Sugar – 2-3 tablespoons + a little vanilla;
Egg yolk – 1;
Starch – 1 tablespoon;

Preparing curd casserole with apricots Prepare curd dough for the pie

Beat eggs with 4 tablespoons of sugar, salt and vanilla sugar until smooth. Add sour cream, semolina. Mix the cottage cheese thoroughly.

Grease a baking dish with butter (I baked in a silicone one). Pour the curd mixture into the mold.

Prepare apricots for the pie

Rinse the apricots, divide into 2 parts, remove the pit. Sprinkle the berries with sugar (2 tablespoons) and place them beautifully in a baking dish with the barrels facing up.

Bake curd pie with apricots

Place the pan with cottage cheese and apricots in the oven and bake until the crust on the pie is browned.

Remove the casserole from the oven and brush with cream (optional).

How to make custard for a pie

Mix the yolk with 2-3 tablespoons of sugar and add vanilla sugar. Pour in half a glass of milk.
Place on low heat (or water bath). When the mixture boils, pour in starch diluted with the second half of cool milk in a thin stream. Stir thoroughly until the starch is cooked (as soon as the cream boils, it’s ready).

Let the cream cool slightly, spread it on the casserole and put it back in the oven. When the cream thickens and becomes slightly springy when touched, it’s ready!

If you have unripe apricots, you should lightly boil them with sugar in a small amount of water to soften them.

Custard will taste better spread on a sponge cake, but in curd it also makes an interesting addition to the pie. But the hassle with the cream increases, if you are tired, you can simply pour sour cream on the apricots laid out on the cottage cheese (or condensed milk, as in the recipe for Curd with Tangerines. And so bake.
