Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the ingredients. Cottage cheese and sour cream of any fat content will work. Softer cottage cheese will give a creamier texture. You can replace the sour cream with plain natural yogurt, such as Greek yogurt, or heavy cream.
Step 2
Place the cottage cheese in a bowl and mash thoroughly with a fork to break up any lumps. If the cottage cheese is particularly dry or lumpy, blend it until smooth or press it through a sieve.
Step 3
Wash and dry the dill and parsley, then finely chop them. If desired, replace or supplement them with other fresh herbs, such as cilantro or green onions.
Step 4
Add the sour cream to the cottage cheese and season with salt and pepper. Mix thoroughly. Add a little more sour cream if needed, but the mixture should remain thick enough to hold its shape.
Step 5
Add the chopped herbs and mix well so they are evenly distributed throughout the cottage cheese mixture.
Step 6
Refrigerate the cottage cheese spread for 1 hour to allow it to thicken.
Step 7
Serve the spread on its own, on toast or as a filling for crepes.
