How to Make Cottage Cheese Pudding

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Soak 1/2 cup raisins in warm water for 15 minutes, then drain.
  3. Remove crusts from 6-8 sandwich rolls and thinly slice.
  4. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cottage cheese, a pinch of salt, 1/2 cup sour cream, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar. Gently fold in the drained raisins.
  5. Butter a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange half of the bread slices in the bottom of the dish.
  6. Spread the cottage cheese mixture evenly over the bread.
  7. Optionally, layer thinly sliced apples (about 1 medium apple) over the cheese mixture.
  8. Top with the remaining bread slices.
  9. In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs, 1 cup milk, 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest, and 2 tablespoons granulated sugar.
  10. Pour the egg mixture evenly over the bread.
  11. Sprinkle the top with the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar and dot with 2 tablespoons of butter, cut into small pieces.
  12. Bake for 45-50 minutes, or until golden brown and the custard is set. Let cool slightly before serving.
