I'm having a breakfast in bed this morning. I'll let you in on a little secret...I have breakfast in bed every morning. It is a custom that my late beloved and I started when we were empty nesters, and which I continue.
My sweet niece, Maggie, gave me this Hello Kitty mug awhile back. Isn't it cute?
Yield: 4 servings
Cottage Cheese Oatmeal Pudding
I will give you the full recipe, but I only make half. The full recipe says that it serves four, but I think the half recipe serves that many. This is a wonderful, comforting dish, that will keep you full for hours. The texture is actually quite fluffy and oh, so good!
ingredients:
2 cups cottage cheese
2 cups cooked oatmeal
2 eggs
1 cup milk
6 tablespoons sugar
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon (my addition)
salt to taste
instructions:
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Butter a 1 and 1/2 quart baking dish. For the half recipe, I use a 1 quart baking dish.
You can use a food processor or an electric mixer, or mix briskly by hand.
Put all the ingredients in the food processor or mixing bowl. Process or mix until the mixture is somewhat smooth.
Spoon into the buttered dish and bake about 40 minutes, or until the edges are set and golden.
Serve hot or cold, with milk or cream.

I am sharing this with these lovely parties:
Breakfast in bed is such a treat, especially this time of year Kitty! You have me wanting to try your oatmeal pudding, the cottage cheese is such an interesting addition. I love your addition of cinnamon and I bet it would be good with some pecans and raisins too. I love your sweet 'Hello Kitty' mug. ♥
ReplyDeleteLot's of hearty protein Kitty! Sounds like a nice way to start the day:@)
ReplyDeleteThis looks and sounds delicious. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful 2019 ~ FlowerLady
I can't remember the last time I had breakfast in bed! It's been a very looong time. Your twist on oatmeal sounds interesting. Since I love oatmeal, I'll give it a try one of these days. Have a lovely day, Kitty. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteBreakfast in bed, wow, what a way to start the day! Your oatmeal sounds dreamy Kitty, and I love the way you pamper yourself!
ReplyDeleteJenna
Kitty, I love that little tradition you and your husband started with having breakfast in bed. How wonderful! Girl, I probably would eat and then go back to sleep! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteHow sweet your tray is!Charming mug!When I was a teenager my father usually served our breakfast in bed at weekends with orange juice and papaya,for me,my sister and my brother...Good remembrances....Blessings,Kitty!
ReplyDeleteOkay. You've got me on THIS one. I have never, ever heard of anything like this pudding! I'm quite quite skeptical but you have made me want to try it and so I will be adding cottage cheese to my grocery list and giving this a whirl (pun intended). Thanks Kitty!
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting sounding recipe. I can't stomach cooked oatmeal so I won't try this recipe. Breakfast in bed sounds like a real treat!
ReplyDeleteYour super cute Hello Kitty mug caught my eye right away. When I was younger, I was obsessed with Hello Kitty and collected all things Hello Kitty. The only thing left in my collection are Hello Kitty stickers.
ReplyDeleteKitty, breakfast in bed sounds lovely. I never have breakfast in bed because I am too messy. There would be crumbs everywhere! I love that Hello Kitty mug. So adorable! Thank you for the recipe for the cottage cheese oatmeal pudding. Sounds wonderful and healthy too!
ReplyDeleteOh, my, this sounds yummy! I wonder if you could add a bit of cocoa to make it chocolate oatmeal? Briana Thomas talks about chocolate oatmeal on her THM blog a lot, and I did try it, and it was so good. I am thinking of maybe modifying your recipe to use THM Gentle Sweet sweetener and adding a bit of cocoa. Hmm...I'll have to think about it. :) Thanks so much for sharing this with us, sweet friend!
ReplyDeleteIt sounds interesting...a serving of cottage cheese is only 1/2 cup. The half recipe serves four you think...I think so, too. What do you do with the remainder? Freeze it?
ReplyDeleteI am very intrigued by this interesting recipe! And will definitely try this! I love all the ingredients. Your mug is just so fun! Starting your day by eating breakfast in bed is SUCH a special treat! Hugs! XO
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful tradition and the perfect way to start the day! I've been looking for breakfast recipes that are more substantial than what I normally eat. The cottage cheese makes this recipe really intriguing.
ReplyDeleteLove the mug Kitty! And that breakfast sounds really good. I love cottage cheese and oatmeal, but never thought of combining.
ReplyDeleteOh what a luxury Kitty, breakfast in bed! I don't think I've ever done that with the exception of being sick! Love your recipe, it sounds so yummy for a cold winter's day. Love your cutie Hello Kitty mug, such a sweet and thoughtful gift! Happy New Year Kitty......
ReplyDeleteHappy New Year Kitty! I am intrigued by this recipe! I have to try it, it sounds and looks delicious! ....and that is the cutest mug!! Hope all is well!! Xx
ReplyDeleteKitty, look at you! I love that you treat yourself to breakfast in bed, that is just awesome. I think I'll start that too! Sounds so fancy and fun. I've missed reading your blog, but I'm hoping to be back often. Hope all is well with you.

Wow, this sounds so different that I may have to try it. I just got back into having oatmeal for breakfast. Now all I have to do is start eating it in bed!
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like a winning combination to me! You've got everything you need to start your day...a lot of protein and whole grains! I need to try this! I love the fact that you treat yourself to breakfast in bed every morning...what a sweet tradition to keep! Have a blessed remainder of the week, dear Kitty!
ReplyDeleteKitty, this is so unusual, but what's not to like?! I love that you are carrying on the breakfast-in-bed tradition.
ReplyDeleteThe cottage oatmeal pudding sounds just perfect for breakfast in bed! What a treat and special tradition to carry on! Your little tray is set up so delightfully! Such a beautifully perfect way to start the day :)
ReplyDeleteOh, yes...I remember that you have breakfast in bed...so you fix whatever you want that morning, put on a tray and run back to bed? I should try that one morning.
ReplyDeleteI'm snowed in, so am embracing the whole "breakfast in bed" thing, as well as perhaps lunch and dinner. This recipe looks pretty tasty and I just bought some cottage cheese, so I'm all set.
ReplyDeleteWhat a delightful treat to have breakfast in bed! I haven't done that since I broke my wrist a couple of years ago :) I love oatmeal in the morning and would love to try this recipe! Love your Hello Kitty mug!
ReplyDeleteBreakfast in bed sounds nice. This oatmeal sounds delicious. I may have to give it a try. Thanks for sharing.
