Best Cottage-Cheese Dishes in the U.S.
Cottage cheese is often found on “healthy choice” breakfast menus, and can be used to spread on toast or fruit, blended into smoothies, baked into egg dishes or used in place of chip dips for a lighter-calorie indulgence.
But cottage cheese has also, surprisingly and excitingly, become a staple at some higher-end restaurants, where it’s being used in more inventive ways. Fig in Charleston, South Carolina, for example, serves it with seasonal produce like blackberries, peaches, radishes and heirloom tomatoes, while L’Etoile in Madison, Wisconsin drizzles it with pumpkin-seed oil and toasted pepitas.
Pictured here is a beautiful dish from Nix in New York City featuring house-made cottage cheese adorned with chilled asparagus and nectarines. Nutritious and delicious!
