Recipe history:
Cottage cheese pudding is a traditional dish that has been enjoyed for generations. This simple recipe has evolved over time, being adapted and reinterpreted in many ways. It is said that this dessert is an excellent way to use fresh cheese, bringing together the ingredients in a harmonious combination that offers a light texture and delicious taste.

Step-by-step preparation:

1. Preparing the ingredients: Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients. Make sure the cottage cheese is fresh and well-drained to avoid excess moisture. If it is too wet, your pudding may become less fluffy.

2. Preparing the egg whites: In a large bowl, add the egg whites of the 6 eggs. Use an electric mixer to beat them until they become firm, but don't forget to gradually add the sugar and vanilla. Continue mixing until you achieve a glossy and firm foam.

3. Mixing the wet ingredients: In another bowl, combine the two packets of pudding with a pinch of salt. Add the yolks, lemon zest, cottage cheese, milk, and baking powder. Mix well until you obtain a homogeneous composition.

4. Combining the compositions: Carefully fold the beaten egg whites into the cheese mixture, using a spatula to preserve the air in the egg whites and achieve a fluffy pudding.

5. Preparing the dish: Preheat the oven to 180 degrees Celsius. Grease a heat-resistant dish with butter and evenly sprinkle the breadcrumbs on the bottom. This will help prevent sticking and add a crunchy texture.

6. Baking the pudding: Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared dish and place it in the oven. Let it bake for 20 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius, then reduce the temperature to 150 degrees Celsius and bake for another 30 minutes. The pudding is ready when a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.

7. Serving: Once the pudding is baked, let it cool slightly before dusting it with powdered sugar. It is delicious served warm, but also cold, throughout the day.

Useful tips:
- If you want to enhance the flavor, you can add some raisins or blueberries to the cheese mixture.
- The pudding can be served with a fruit sauce or a dollop of cream for an extra creaminess.
- Try replacing the cottage cheese with ricotta for a different texture and taste.
