Ingredients
- 1 cup raw buckwheat groats
- 2 cups water
- 1.5 cups cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon ground paprika
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a medium casserole dish with unsalted butter.
Step 2
Rinse the buckwheat groats under cold water in a fine-mesh strainer to remove any impurities.
Step 3
In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Add the buckwheat, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed. Fluff with a fork and set aside to cool slightly.
Step 4
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, and salt until well combined.
Step 5
Add the cooked buckwheat, cottage cheese, black pepper, and ground paprika to the egg mixture. Stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 6
Pour the mixture into the prepared casserole dish, spreading it out evenly.
Step 7
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese on top, followed by the chopped parsley for a fresh, vibrant touch.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the casserole sets and the top is golden brown.
Step 9
Remove the casserole from the oven and allow it to cool for 5-10 minutes before slicing and serving.
Step 10
Serve warm, either as a main dish or a side, and enjoy!
