Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius), ensuring it reaches the perfect temperature for baking your roast.
-
-
Prepare the Pan: Take a loaf pan and generously grease it to prevent sticking, ensuring an easy release once the roast is cooked.
-
Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, add the cottage cheese, eggs, vegetable oil, and dry soup mix. Then, introduce the chopped walnuts, crushed cereal, and finely chopped onion into the mixture. Use a spatula or spoon to mix all the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
-
Transfer to Pan: Spoon the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, spreading it evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
-
Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 60 to 70 minutes. Keep an eye on it during the last few minutes to ensure it doesn’t overcook.
-
Rest and Serve: Once baked, remove the Cottage Cheese Roast from the oven and let it rest for 5 to 10 minutes. This resting period allows the flavors to meld beautifully. After resting, carefully turn the roast out onto a serving platter and slice to serve.
