Did you know cottage cheese was a fermented food? Oh yeah. Like yogurt, it's made from fermented milk. But unlike yogurt, cottage cheese doesn't seek fame and fermented-food fortune. It doesn't need mansions of glory; it's cool with an understated cottage lifestyle, secure in its old-school authenticity. Still, if these 5-star cottage cheese recipes have anything to say about it, cottage cheese is making a comeback. You'll love this incredibly diverse collection of top-rated recipes that start with a carton of cottage cheese.

Mock Sour Cream II

<p>"This was a pretty good sub for sour cream," says France C. "The consistency was perfect. Blend it up and let it sit for a few mins and it thickens up. On it's own, you can definitely tell it's cottage cheese, but as a topping or addition to a recipe, it's a tasty alternative. I put it on a baked potato and really appreciated the low fat and calories."</p>
