Tangy Berry Cottage Cheese Skillet Cake From Samantha Seneviratne | Break an Egg | Food52

Welcome to Break an Egg, the series where our Senior Food Stylist, Anna Billingskog, cooks up a winning breakfast recipe. She’ll tackle cookbook hits, favorites from Food52 community members, and originals from our Test Kitchen. Follow along for breakfast (and breakfast for dinner) inspo.
Berry-Cottage Cheese Skillet Cake From Samantha Seneviratne:
This recipe comes from Samantha Seneviratne's latest cookbook, Bake Smart, featured in our video series, Break an Egg.
She suggests using any fruit you're in the mood for by matching the prepped weight of the berries for your swap. Though she bills it as a weeknight cake, no one will protest if you serve it for breakfast.
She also offers these helpful tips:
• Cottage cheese does the same work as buttermilk and yogurt, adding tang, moisture, and richness to cakes. Always use high-quality full-fat cottage cheese-the kind you’d be happy to eat with a spoon.
• Don’t wash delicate berries until just before you use them. The added moisture can encourage rot. Swish them around in a bowl of water and then transfer them to a paper towel-lined rimmed baking sheet. Gently shake the pan from side to side to roll the berries around on the paper and get rid of excess moisture.

Somehow the slow pace drove me a little crazy. Felt like they were dragging it out to make me keep watching …. Just want to see recipe and finished product with less inane banter. Agree they are cute and speak nicely to each other

[@LindaakaPlud]

I agree it! It was painful to watch. I was just interested in the recipe! 😁💛
