Ingredients

• 2 cups Cottage cheese
• 8 ounces Cream cheese
• 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
• 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
• 6 large Eggs
• 6 tablespoons Butter, melted
• 2 cups Milk
• 1 cup All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Powdered sugar (for dusting)
• 1 cup Fresh berries (optional, for topping)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cream cheese, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well blended. Set aside.

Step 3

In another large bowl, whisk together 4 of the eggs, melted butter, milk, flour, baking powder, and salt to form a smooth batter.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Carefully spoon the cheese mixture on top of the batter, spreading it gently to create an even layer.

Step 6

Pour the remaining batter over the cheese layer, ensuring it evenly covers the top.

Step 7

In a small bowl, whisk the remaining 2 eggs and gently pour them over the batter layer to create a golden-brown crust during baking.

Step 8

Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 45-50 minutes, or until the top is puffed and golden, and the center is set.

Step 9

Allow the casserole to cool for about 10 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar before serving and optionally garnish with fresh berries.

Step 10

Serve warm and enjoy this delightful dish for your brunch gathering!
