- low-fat cottage cheese 1/2 cup
Method
-
Wash the pear.
Rinse the pear thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residues. Pat it dry with a clean towel.
Tip: Use a soft brush if you want to clean the pear skin more thoroughly. -
Cut the pear.
Place the pear on a cutting board. Using a sharp knife, slice the pear into thin wedges or bite-sized pieces. You may remove the core and seeds if you prefer.
Tip: Be careful when cutting; a sharp knife makes it easier and safer. -
Measure the cottage cheese.
Scoop out about half a cup (120 grams) of low-fat cottage cheese and place it in a small bowl.
Tip: Use a kitchen scale for accuracy if available. -
Combine and serve.
Arrange the pear pieces on a plate or bowl. Add the cottage cheese on top or on the side. Optionally, you can gently mix them together before eating.
Tip: Serve immediately for the freshest taste.
Pro tips
- Choose a ripe pear that yields slightly to gentle pressure for the best flavor and texture.
- If you want extra flavor, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon or drizzle a small amount of honey over the cottage cheese.
