Summer 2023 might just be remembered as the summer of cottage cheese. Among the other inexplicable social media trends, cottage cheese has gone viral in several realms this year, including TikTok and Google searches. But maybe it’s not so inexplicable. Cottage cheese is high in protein and calcium, as well as essential micronutrients like selenium and riboflavin. And it’s delicious! It’s come a long way since the classic diner “diet plate” of a hamburger patty served with a scoop of cottage cheese and slice of melon on the side. Think of it as you would ricotta and enjoy it on its own, drizzled with olive oil and topped with plenty of cracked pepper or take a look at the ways it can flex as an ingredient with surprising versatility.
