A Simple Cottage Cheese Pie Recipe
All you need to get started is a cup of cottage cheese, 2 rounded tablespoons of flour, 1 cup of sugar, ¼ cup of salt, 2 beaten eggs, 2 cups of milk, a dash of cinnamon, and a nine inch pie crust. Preheat your oven to 450 degrees. In a blender or food processer, blend the cottage cheese. Then add the rest of the ingredients with the exception of the milk and blend. After it gets smooth, add the milk slowly and continue blending.
Pour the mixture into the pie crust and put it on a pie drip pan because sometimes cottage cheese pie boils over while it’s baking. Sprinkle cinnamon on top of the mixture and bake the pie for ten minutes. Reduce the heat of the oven to 300 degrees and bake for another hour to an hour and 15 minutes. The pie may look a little mushy when it’s fresh out of the oven but it will firm once it cools off.
You can also add a hint of lemon juice to the cottage cheese pie mixture to give it a unique flavor. Cottage cheese pie tastes great in graham cracker crust or pastry crust.
