A brief history

Cheese pudding is a traditional dish found in various forms across many cultures. Over time, cheese has been combined with various ingredients, from fruits to cereals, to create diverse flavors and textures. Oats add a touch of health and energy, making this recipe an ideal breakfast for the whole family.

Ingredients

To prepare sweet cheese pudding with oats, you will need the following ingredients:

- 400 g sweet cheese (ideally cottage cheese or ricotta for a smooth texture)
- Zest of one lemon (for a fresh aroma)
- 200 g sugar (can be adjusted to taste)
- 3 eggs (to ensure good binding of the ingredients)
- 1 packet of vanilla sugar (for a flavorful taste)
- 150 ml milk (you can use cow's milk or a plant-based alternative if preferred)
- 20 g butter (for added creaminess)
- One cup of rye flour (or an alternative, depending on preference)
- 2 cups of oats (adjustable according to desired consistency)
- 2 tablespoons of strawberry jam (or any other favorite jam)
- 10 ml oil (for greasing the pan)

Step by step

1. Preparing the cheese mixture
In a large bowl, add the sweet cheese, sugar, vanilla sugar, eggs, lemon zest, and a pinch of salt. Use a mixer or spatula to thoroughly combine all ingredients. The mixture should be creamy and smooth.

2. Adding the jam
Incorporating the strawberry jam is the step that will bring a note of freshness and sweetness to the dish. Gently mix to avoid completely destroying the texture. You will notice how the colors blend, creating an attractive appearance.

3. Incorporating the milk and flour
In another bowl, mix the milk with the rye flour. This will add a pleasant consistency to the pudding. Pour the milk and flour mixture over the cheese mixture, stirring until fully combined.

4. Adding the oats
Finally, add the oats. They will contribute to the pudding's texture, making it more substantial. Adjust the amount of oats according to your preference - if you want a softer pudding, use fewer oats.

5. Preparing the pan and baking
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a pan with oil to prevent sticking. Pour the mixture into the pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula. Bake the pudding for 40-45 minutes or until golden and firm to the touch.

6. Cooling and serving
Once baked, let the pudding cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer it to a platter. Serve warm or at room temperature. It is delicious both plain and with a sauce of fresh fruits or a spoonful of yogurt.

Practical tips

- Adjusting sweetness: If you prefer a less sweet version, easily reduce the amount of sugar. You can also use alternative sweeteners such as honey or maple syrup.
- Ingredient variations: Experiment with different types of cheese or add nuts, almonds, or dried fruits for added texture and nutrients.
- For a more intense flavor: You can add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or cinnamon to the cheese mixture.
