Why I Love this Quick Brunch Casserole
To make this casserole, all you have to do is combine all of the ingredients, put them into a dish, and bake! It just couldn’t get easier. The prep time is just 2 minutes, and it’s great the next day as well. The cooking time is 30-35 minutes, and when it’s done it gives a taste of home.
While it may be called a farmer cheese casserole for this recipe, in the households of Eastern Europe it’s more like a cheesecake. Cheesecakes in Europe aren’t as sweet as American cheesecakes.
Key Ingredients
Farmer’s cheese is a great base to start this sweet recipe. You can use homemade farmer’s cheese if you’d like.
Eggs: Large.
Cream of wheat: From the 5-minute box will work.
Sour cream: Makes up some more of the rich ingredients.
Sugar: sweetens it up. You will need just a little bit, 3 Tablespoons, use fine.
Vanilla adds flavor to this farmer’s cheese recipe, but you can opt it out. I use dry vanilla.

- Check on the casserole to make sure it doesn’t burn.
- For a thicker casserole use a smaller oven-safe dish.

This recipe looks tasty, and I plan on trying it with oat flour or coconut flour so it will be gluten free. The cream of wheat means it isn’t gluten free, so you should remove that label or give a good gluten free alternate in the recipe.
