This is a simplified version of a family holiday tradition. Never a holiday goes by without this delicious treat, and soooo much easier today. Serve warm or chilled. Try replacing the heavy cream with half-and-half, eggnog, or evaporated milk.
Ingredients:
2 teaspoons butter, or as needed
5 eggs, lightly beaten
1 (24 ounce) carton cottage cheese (4% milk fat)
1 pint heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a casserole dish with butter.
2. Stir beaten eggs, cottage cheese, cream, sugar, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt together in a bowl; pour into prepared casserole dish.
3. Bake in preheated oven until set and completely browned on top, about 1 hour. Set aside to cool.
