Manno cottage cheese casserole in the oven

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a manno curd casserole in the oven? First, pour the semolina with milk. Be sure to stir everything and forget about this mass for half an hour.

2. Step 2:

   

   While the semolina is swelling, we need to soften the butter. It is better to do this naturally, i.e. in the kitchen, on the table, putting it on a saucer in advance.

3. Step 3:

   

   In order not to waste time, let's continue - break the eggs into a plate and, adding sugar, whisk. But don't overdo it – we don't need foam at all.

4. Step 4:

   

   Next, pass the cottage cheese through a sieve, meat grinder or blender, and then send the butter, egg-sugar mixture, semolina with milk, as well as salt and vanilla here.

6. Step 5:

   

   You can mix this mass with a fork, and with a whisk, and in any other way that is more appropriate for you. It is important that the mass acquires a pasty state.

   I love dried apricots in a casserole, so I chopped it finely. It didn't have to be soaked, because it was fresh and soft. If you do not want dried apricots, put the raisins, soaking it in hot water beforehand. Add dried apricots (or raisins) and mix the mass again.

8. Step 7:

   

   It remains for us to turn on the oven and set it at 180 degrees. While it is warming up, lubricate the mold (bottom and walls) with oil. You can sprinkle with breadcrumbs or semolina, and put the dough in a baking dish prepared for baking. Remember that the thickness of the casserole should be 3-4 cm. Smooth its surface with a spatula and smear with sour cream. If you want, lay out the top with berries.

9. Step 8:

   

   It remains for us to send the form to the heated oven. Bake for 35-40-50 minutes – depends on the oven. I took the casserole out of the oven when its top was gilded. But take it out of the form after 20 minutes.
