Tangerine cottage cheese - very tasty!
I wanted something tasty for tea; I had cottage cheese and tangerines at home. And I decided to bake tangerine curd dessert(which can quite rightly be called both a casserole and a cottage cheese pie).
The dessert turned out to be tender. It's especially nice to bite tangerine slices, which unexpectedly come across curd soufflé. The tangerine casserole is very easy to prepare and disappears from the table very quickly!

Cottage cheese (preferably full fat, 9%) – 350 g;
Sugar – 3 tablespoons;
Vanilla sugar – 1 teaspoon;
Mole - a small pinch;
Semolina (semolina) – 3 tablespoons;
Sour cream – 3 tablespoons;
Eggs – 3 pieces;
Tangerines – 3-4 pieces;
A piece of butter for greasing the baking dish (tin diameter 22-24 cm)
Beat eggs with sugar (simple and vanilla) and salt until the crystals dissolve.
Combine sour cream, semolina and cottage cheese. Mix everything well and carefully add the beaten eggs.
Grease the baking dish butter and put half of the curd mass into it. Then lay out the tangerine slices and cover them with the remaining cottage cheese.
Place the form with the tangerine casserole on the middle shelf of the oven, heated to 180 degrees C. As soon as an intense curd smell appears, and our curd pastries When it turns brown, it’s ready!

Ready-made casserole of cottage cheese and tangerines!
Of course you can. Then you should not add sour cream and sugar to the casserole dough, because the curd mass is already quite fatty and sweet.
I baked this one cottage cheese pie with fresh Abkhazian tangerines
If there are no tangerines, you can add thin slices of apples or bananas to the curd dough (then they should be sprinkled with lemon juice so as not to darken), pieces of peaches or apricots, cherries or grated carrots.

If you have canned fruits, then pineapples (pieces) and peaches (you can put them in halves) are suitable.
Raisins, prunes and dried apricots are traditionally good in cottage cheese casserole.
Of course, you can do without the filling, but it’s more fun with it.
To prepare the cottage cheese casserole, you can use any form: porcelain (ceramic), metal or silicone (I had exactly this one).
IN silicone molds baked goods are usually prepared upside down. Therefore, in order to take it out, you must first place one plate on our pie and tip the curd onto it. And then tip it over again onto another plate to bring it into the correct position.
If you bake a cottage cheese pie right away in the correct position, then you can pour sour cream on the top, which will harden into a delicious creamy crust.
I haven’t tried cooking a casserole in a glass dish, but it’s probably possible in one. True, I’m not sure that it’s convenient to remove the finished curd from the glass. However, if baked goods are served at home, then there will be nothing wrong if you put the pie in a glass form on the table and cut it directly in it.

This cottage cheese casserole recipe contains neither semolina nor flour. And even a little oatmeal was added, just enough to slightly thicken and compact the curd mass. The finished cottage cheese casserole with tangerines, the recipe with a photo of which I offer, will turn out very tender, with pleasant taste baked cottage cheese, oatmeal is not felt at all in it. And the fruit will be very noticeable. Depending on the season, you can cook the casserole in different options, adding apples, peaches, apricots, pears, oranges, tangerines and much more. The main thing is that the fruits are not very juicy, and they should be added in moderation. This recipe for cottage cheese casserole uses tangerines as a fruit additive. There is no need to clear the film from the segments; it does not interfere at all and, in addition, prevents the juice from flowing out of the tangerine segments.
If you have someone who doesn’t really like cottage cheese, even in the form of a casserole, and you need to tone down its taste, add more flakes, not two spoons, but four. Or put a couple of spoons fruit puree and a little semolina to thicken the curd mass. By the way, let me remind you that last time we cooked.
Ingredients:
- cottage cheese homemade– 200 gr;
- egg – 1 pc;
- oatmeal – 2 tbsp. spoons;
- milk – a third of a glass;
- sugar – 3 tbsp. spoons (to taste);
- tangerines – 2 pcs (or one apple, pear, orange);
- syrup from fruit jam, chocolate - for serving.
How to cook with photos step by step
Heat the milk a little so that the flakes swell faster. Pour two heaping tablespoons of cereal into a bowl, regular, not instant cooking. Pour in warm milk, stir and let stand for 10 minutes until softened. Turn on the oven. While you are preparing the base for the casserole, it should have time to warm up to 180 degrees. 
Homemade cottage cheese is used to prepare the casserole. It tastes not sour at all, the consistency is layered, pressed from whey. The proportions of sugar and flakes are given for such cottage cheese. For a product of a different consistency, you will need to adjust the amount of flakes: for a dry, granular one, one heaped spoon is enough, for a wet, pasty one, it is better to put three spoons. 
Add sugar. Again, adjust the quantity to your taste (according to the recipe, the casserole will be sweetish, but not cloying). 
Grind cottage cheese with sugar, beat in one egg. Mix everything again until smooth. 
After mixing, you should get a viscous curd mass, almost homogeneous (not counting small lumps of curd). 
Now you need to add the soaked flakes along with milk if the oatmeal has not completely absorbed it. Add the flakes to the cottage cheese and stir. After adding the flakes, the curd mass will become thicker and denser. If you feel like it’s still a bit runny, add a spoonful of semolina. 
Grease a low form with oil. Add about half of the cottage cheese and oatmeal. Flatten. Peel the tangerines and divide into slices. Remove all white veins (remnants of zest). Do not remove the film that covers the pulp. It will not interfere, will not affect the taste, and you will save time. Arrange the slices by lightly pressing them into the cottage cheese. 
Cover the tangerines with the curd mixture. Make the top even and be sure to leave room for the casserole to rise. Keep in mind that the consistency of the cottage cheese is quite liquid, it is not dense, and if you fill the mold flush with the sides, the curd mass will simply flow out when rising. 
Place the casserole on the middle rack of a well-heated oven. Cook until the top thickens. 20-25 minutes will be enough for a short form. If the form is high, then increase the time to 35-40 minutes. Be guided by the consistency; the finished casserole will become dense and a golden brown crust will appear on top. 
Curd casserole ready with oatmeal and tangerines. Allow to cool without removing from the mold. It will settle as it cools - this is normal. Then brush the top with fruit jam syrup, cut into portions and serve. Bon appetit!

It is more convenient to make cottage cheese casserole with tangerines in small portioned molds. Grease the bottom and walls of the molds with butter, fill a little more than half of the mold with the curd mass. Arrange the tangerine slices, lightly pressing them into the curd mass.
Place the remaining curd mixture on top, level it so that the tangerine slices are completely covered.
