Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon butter (for greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a baking dish (approximately 8 inches in diameter) with butter to prevent the custard from sticking.
In a blender, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, whole milk, honey, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, and salt. Blend until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Pour the blended mixture into the prepared baking dish, spreading it out evenly.
Place the baking dish in a larger roasting pan. Carefully pour hot water into the roasting pan until it comes halfway up the sides of the baking dish to create a water bath for baking.
Transfer the roasting pan to the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the custard is set and a knife inserted into the center comes out clean.
Carefully remove the baking dish from the water bath and allow it to cool for 10 minutes.
Serve warm or chilled, optionally garnished with a sprinkle of cinnamon or fresh fruit.
