Special K Cottage Cheese Loaf, a Vegetarian Recipe

Teresa Wilson
I "discovered" this dish, Special K Cottage Cheese Loaf, at least 20 years ago when I started going to church. It was served at a lot of the potlucks after church and at people's houses after church [when they invited us home with them, way back in the day!]. I asked for the recipe and I have been making it ever since. I even fixed Special K Cottage Cheese Loaf as part of the meal for my wedding reception. Some of the non-vegetarians [meat eaters] thought it was a meat dish but it is completely meatless.

I have seen recipes for this dish online and in a lot of different cookbooks and it seems to go by a lot of different names with some variation in the ingredients though this seems to be the basic ingredients listed here. Through the many years that I've been making Special K Cottage Cheese Loaf, I have modified it many times so here it is, this is the recipe that I use when I make this for myself and my family.

Special K Cottage Cheese Loaf

Ingredients:

1/2 Cup Butter or Margarine [1 stick]
1 Onion [diced, can use more or less depending on taste]
2 Tablespoons of a Vegetarian Stock like McKay's Seasoning/Broth or Worthington Brand [this can be to your taste, add a little more or less if you wish]
4 Beaten Eggs
1 large size container of Cottage Cheese
5 - 6 Cups of Special K Cereal - [I have heard that some people use Corn Flakes but I've never been brave enough to try it!]
3/4 Cup Walnuts [I put mine in a bag and hit them with either a can or a wooden rolling pin until they are very small pieces, almost fine ground]

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 F
Spray large baking pan with non-stick spray
Get a large mixing bowl and melt the butter or margarine in it [microwave]
Add the remaining ingredients EXCEPT NOT the Special K cereal, Mix Well
Add the Special K cereal, mix well
Put in your greased baking pan
Cover with foil and bake on the top rack for 45 minutes
Remove foil, turn off the heat to oven and let sit in the oven for at least 20 to 30 minutes.

Leftovers freeze well and can be reheated in the microwave.

I serve Special K Cottage Cheese Loaf with a green salad and garlic bread.

    I have used what is called "egg replacer" that you can purchase at a health food store. It works wonderfully with all baked recipes.

    I do not eat eggs, what can I use as a replacer?
