Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Butter
- 4 pieces Large eggs
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.75 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 cup Milk
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 8 ounces Cream cheese, softened
- 0.5 cup Sour cream
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 cup Fresh berries or fruit preserves (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 2 tablespoons of butter, setting aside the remaining butter.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together 2 eggs, 1/4 cup of granulated sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract until smooth. Gradually stir in the flour and milk, alternating between the two, until you have a smooth batter. Set aside.
In a separate bowl, combine the ricotta cheese, cream cheese, sour cream, lemon juice, powdered sugar, and the remaining 2 eggs. Beat until the mixture is smooth and creamy with no lumps.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly across the bottom.
Carefully spoon the cheese mixture over the batter layer, spreading it gently to create an even layer without disturbing the batter below.
Pour the remaining batter over the cheese layer, spreading it gently to cover the cheese mixture.
Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and drizzle it over the top layer of batter.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set in the center.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm, topped with fresh berries or fruit preserves if desired. Enjoy!
