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)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with 1 tablespoon of butter.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, milk, melted butter, vanilla extract, and sugar until well combined.

Step 3

Gradually sift the flour into the egg mixture, whisking continuously to ensure no lumps form. Set this batter aside.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Pour half of the batter into the prepared baking dish, spreading it evenly to cover the bottom.

Step 6

Carefully spoon the cheese filling over the batter in an even layer, ensuring full coverage.

Step 7

Pour the remaining batter over the cheese filling, spreading it gently to cover the filling completely.

Step 8

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.

Step 9

Remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before cutting into squares.

Step 10

Serve warm with your choice of toppings, such as sour cream, jam, or fresh berries.
