  • Use a large skillet: A large skillet will help to prevent the buckwheat from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the buckwheat over medium heat: Medium heat will help to prevent the buckwheat from burning.
  • Stir the buckwheat frequently: Stirring the buckwheat frequently will help to prevent it from clumping together.
  • Add the cottage cheese and eggs at the end of cooking: Adding the cottage cheese and eggs at the end of cooking will help to prevent them from curdling.
  • Season the casserole to taste: Season the casserole with salt, pepper, and other spices to taste.
  • Serve the casserole hot: This casserole is best served hot, right out of the oven.
