Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Whole milk
- 1 stick (melted) Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Vanilla extract
- 0.5 cup Sugar
- 1 cup All-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups Cottage cheese
- 8 ounces (softened) Cream cheese
- 1 cup Ricotta cheese
- 0.25 cup Powdered sugar
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Butter (greasing)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined.
Gradually sift the flour into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to ensure no lumps form. Set this batter aside.
In another mixing bowl, prepare the cheese filling by combining the cottage cheese, cream cheese, ricotta cheese, powdered sugar, lemon juice, and salt. Mix until smooth and creamy.
Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.
Carefully spoon the cheese filling over the batter in an even layer, ensuring full coverage.
Pour the remaining batter over the cheese filling, spreading it gently to cover the filling completely.
Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is set.
Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares.
Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, jam, or fresh berries.
