What to make with cottage cheese

Whip it, wrap it, or spread it on toast. We’ve got flavour-packed recipes with cottage cheese that will have you dashing to the kitchen for your on-trend, elevated protein fix. 

Packed with essential nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus and vitamin B1, B3 and B12, cottage cheese is high in protein and nutritious ingredient for both sweet and savory dishes. “Protein is an essential macronutrient that our body needs for energy, growth and repair as part of a balanced diet,” says M&S Head of Nutrition, Sophia Linn – and our full range of cottage cheese is brimming with it. 

All of our cottage cheese tubs feature an Eat Well flower so you know you’re making a healthy choice that can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet. Whether you go for our Reduced Fat Natural Cottage Cheese crafted for those who enjoy lighter alternatives (without compromising on taste) or something creamier, each option is crafted for flavour and wellness.  Perfect in cheesy meal ideas or as part of a healthy snack, cottage cheese is an easy, versatile way to fuel your body.

Cottage cheese ideas don’t stop at toast and jacket potatoes. The mild and milky cheese has a slight tang, which lends itself to a whole breadth of seasoning.

Whip a batch of cottage cheese, then season with cracked black pepper, rock salt, a squeeze of zingy lemon, and a drizzle of garlic-infused olive oil to add a sweet aromatic note. And voila, you have a dip for oaty crackers, crudites and crispbread.

Why stop there? Cottage cheese is a great replacement for ricotta in desserts. Put leftovers to delicious use in chocolate mousse or folded into pancakes, then serve with fresh berries and maple syrup.
