10 High-Protein Sweet and Savory Cottage Cheese Recipes

This collection of 10 Cottage Cheese Recipes was born out of my everyday cooking, the kind of meals you make when you want something nourishing, comforting, and genuinely easy. Cottage cheese has quietly become one of those ingredients I always keep in the fridge. It is naturally high in protein, mild in flavor, and incredibly versatile.

Inside this collection, you’ll find a mix of sweet and savory recipes. From simple breakfasts and light lunches to snacks and not-too-sweet treats, these dishes are meant to fit naturally into your day. Because cottage cheese is so rich in protein, every recipe is satisfying and filling, without feeling heavy or complicated.

These are recipes I make for my family, adjust based on what I have on hand, and return to again and again. Cottage cheese blends beautifully into both sweet and savory dishes, adding creaminess, structure, and a quiet protein boost without overpowering the flavors you love.

If you’re looking to increase your protein intake, add variety to your meals, or simply need reliable recipes that work on busy days, this collection is friendly and approachable. Nothing fancy, just simple, high-protein food that tastes good and feels right.
