Many housewives are familiar with the situation when a cottage cheese casserole first rises to an incredible height, and then collapses after being removed from the oven.

What to do with this, says Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking from the online publication Belnovosti, a chef and fourth-class baker.

How to make a fluffy casserole

First, the oven needs to be preheated to a maximum of 200 degrees.

Secondly, ten minutes before it is ready, you need to pierce the casserole with a toothpick in several places.

Thirdly, you can't allow a sharp temperature change. Don't rush to take the casserole out of the oven.

The fluffiness of the casserole also depends on the number of eggs: the more there are, the higher the baked goods will be.

It is extremely important to beat the eggs correctly. If you simply shake them, the casserole will turn out flat, if you overdo it, it will become too airy and will deflate after removing from the oven.
