Fried cottage cheese
Description
If you've never tried fried cottage cheese before, give this recipe a try—it makes an interesting dessert inspired by Eastern cuisine. Take note of my warning: don't use coarse-grain cottage cheese like I did in this recipe, as the curds turn out a bit tough. Still, the dessert tastes very delicious.

Step 4
When the cottage cheese turns caramel-colored, add butter and vanilla sugar. If desired, you can add crushed nuts or seeds. You can also add dried fruits, but it's better to do so one step earlier. Stir continuously, and once the mixture starts to caramelize, remove it from the heat.
