If you are looking for a cheese lasagna recipe that combines the fine flavors of cheeses with the perfect texture of lasagna sheets, you have come to the right place! This lasagna is not just a simple recipe but also a savory dish that you can enjoy for lunch or dinner. Here’s how to prepare this delight step by step!
Ingredients:
- 1 package of lasagna sheets (about 250 g)
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- For the filling:
- 400 g cottage cheese
- 400 g telemea cheese (preferably goat or cow)
- 7 eggs (4 for the filling and 3 for topping)
- 120 g butter (soft, at room temperature)
- 3-4 tablespoons breadcrumbs
- 250 ml sour cream
Preparation:
1. Boiling the lasagna sheets: In a large pot, add water, salt, and olive oil. Bring the water to a boil, then add the lasagna sheets. Boil them according to the package instructions, usually about 8-10 minutes. Make sure the sheets do not stick together.
2. Cooling the sheets: After boiling, carefully remove the sheets and place them in cold water for 2-3 minutes. This step is essential to prevent the lasagna sheets from sticking together. Once cooled, cover them with plastic wrap to keep them moist and prevent sticking.
3. Preparing the filling: In a large bowl, grate the telemea cheese and add it to the cottage cheese. Add the soft butter and the 4 beaten eggs. Mix the ingredients well until you get a homogeneous mixture. Taste the filling to ensure it is salty enough and adjust to your preference.
4. Preparing the baking dish: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Grease a baking dish with butter and sprinkle breadcrumbs to prevent the lasagna from sticking. This will add texture and help create a delicious crust.
5. Assembling the lasagna: Place a first layer of lasagna sheets in the dish, then a layer of the cheese mixture. Repeat the process: another layer of sheets, another layer of filling, and finish with a final layer of sheets.
6. Finalizing the dish: Beat the remaining 3 eggs together with the sour cream and pour the mixture evenly over the last layer of sheets. This step will ensure a rich and creamy crust.
7. Baking: Place the dish in the preheated oven and let it bake for 60 minutes, or until the surface is golden and browned. You can check if the lasagna is done by inserting a knife in the middle. If it comes out clean, the dish is perfect!
8. Serving: The lasagna is served hot, cut into portions, directly from the dish. It is delicious alongside a fresh green salad or a tomato basil salad, which will add the perfect contrast of freshness.
Personal suggestion: For an extra flavor, you can add dried herbs, such as oregano or basil, to the filling. You can also experiment with different cheeses, such as mozzarella or parmesan, to achieve a richer and more flavorful lasagna.
This cheese lasagna recipe is not only simple but also quick, ideal for a family meal or to impress guests. Try it, and you will discover a new favorite in your kitchen!
