Method

Mix cottage¹ cheese, egg, sugar, vanilla sugar, semolina³, and salt until smooth.
Rinse raisins⁵, drain well, and fold into the cottage¹ cheese mixture.
Let the batter rest for 10 minutes to allow the semolina³ to absorb.
Grease a baking dish, spread the cottage¹ cheese mixture evenly inside.
Top with a layer of sour⁷ cream.
Bake at 350°F (180°C) for 40–45 minutes until golden on top and set in the middle.
Cool for 10 minutes before slicing.

Tips

Why it works: Let the semolina swell for 10 minutes so the casserole holds together and turns out denser. Without this it will be dry and crumble when sliced.
Substitutions: Use dried apricots (25 g) instead of raisins, as they're softer and need no rinsing. Instead of vanilla sugar, add 1 tsp of vanilla extract or 1 vanilla pod ground with sugar.
Common mistakes: If the top burns and the middle is raw, check doneness with a toothpick, which should come out dry. The casserole is done when the top is golden and the center doesn't wobble when you gently shake the dish.
Storing and reheating: Keep in the fridge for 3 days, covered with film. Reheat in the microwave for 1–1.5 minutes, covering the plate. Eat it fresh, as it gets drier on the second day.
Serve with: Serve with tea or coffee in the morning, topped with a layer of walnuts or crushed almond flakes for crunch.
