How to Make Cottage Cheese Pie

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. In a large bowl, combine 2 cups cottage cheese, 1 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 cup all-purpose flour, and 2 large egg yolks (beaten). Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or other desired flavoring).
  3. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup milk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
  4. In a separate bowl, beat 2 large egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture.
  5. Pour the filling into your prepared pastry shell (9-inch).
  6. Bake for 40-45 minutes, or until the filling is set and lightly golden brown. Let cool completely before serving.
