Cottage cheese recipes

Cottage cheese has long been hailed as the dieter's food of choice, and for a good reason. It's packed full of protein and calcium, while remaining low in calories, fat and carbs. But the best part? It's deliciously creamy and salty flavour goes wonderfully in menu dishes, making a great substitute for 'naughtier' ingredients like cream, mozarella or bechamel sauce in lasagne. Here, we've pulled together some tasty ways to use more of it, from sweet slices, cheesecakes and muffins, to savoury frittatas, pies and breakfast fritters.
