For all lovers of simple but tasty dishes, we suggest you try buckwheat pudding with cottage cheese. This delicate and healthy dish can be an excellent addition to the daily menu for both adults and picky eaters.
In fact, this is the most common buckwheat casserole with cottage cheese, which is very easy to prepare. You just need to boil the buckwheat, mix it with the cottage cheese mixture, and then bake it. And the tasty and, most importantly, healthy dish is ready.

• 
  Rinse thoroughly and sift the buckwheat grains. Then pour them together with the salt into a pot of boiling water and cook until ready. In this case, we need 3/4 cup of water, for one part of groats, three parts of liquid.
• 
  While the buckwheat porridge is cooking (it will take about 20 minutes), let’s take care of the other ingredients. Mash the cottage cheese (we have it in granules) with a fork. Separately, beat (not too hard) the egg with the sugar.
• 
  Mix the cottage cheese with the yogurt and the sweet egg mixture.
• 
  Cool the cooked buckwheat porridge until it is lukewarm. To speed up the process, you can spread it on a flat plate in a thin layer. Then mix the buckwheat with the cottage cheese mixture.
• 
  Grease a baking pan (metal, glass, or silicone) with a little butter and sprinkle with breadcrumbs.
• 
  Place the dough inside.
• 
  Spread thin slices of butter on top. Then place the filled baking pan in an oven preheated to 180 °C for 35-40 minutes.
• 
  Remove the buckwheat pudding from the oven and let it cool slightly, leaving it on the table.
• 
  Then carefully remove it from the baking pan and cut it into portions. Serve our delicious dish warm.

• If you wish, you can serve it with sour cream, condensed milk, jam, or preserves. Enjoy!
  Can I omit the sugar entirely?

  Yes — the recipe suggests you may use natural sweeteners or omit sugar.

  How to make sure the pudding sets well?

  After boiling buckwheat, allow it to cool slightly before mixing with cheese and yogurt. Use a butter-greased dish with breadcrumbs.
