Pas cu pas

1. 1

   Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).

   Aproximativ 10 min.

2. 2

   Grease a 20cm (8-inch) baking dish with butter.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

3. 3

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, granulated sugar, semolina, and vanilla extract.

   Aproximativ 2 min.

4. 4

   Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are well combined and the mixture is smooth. You can use a fork, a whisk, or an immersion blender for a creamier texture.

   Aproximativ 3 min.

   Nota bucătarului: For a very smooth texture, you can press the cottage cheese through a sieve before mixing or use an immersion blender.

5. 5

   Pour the cottage cheese mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread evenly with a spatula.

   Aproximativ 1 min.

6. 6

   Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the zapekanka is set.

   Aproximativ 40 min.

   Nota bucătarului: The zapekanka should be firm to the touch in the center.

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let it cool in the dish for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

   Aproximativ 10 min.

   Nota bucătarului: Cooling helps it set further and makes for cleaner slices.

8. 8

   Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally topped with sour cream.

   Nota bucătarului: It's also delicious with fresh berries or fruit preserves.
