Rustic Cottage Cheese Pie with Crumble

Ingredients

Margarine - 4.4 oz
Wheat Flour - 1 cup
Sugar - ¼ cup
Cottage cheese - 10.6 oz
Sour Cream - 3 tablespoons
Egg white - 1 piece
Salt - a pinch
Baking Powder - ½ teaspoon

Step by Step guide

Step 1

The margarine should be frozen. It's enough to keep it in the freezer for an hour.

Step 2

Mix sugar (¼ cup), flour (1 cup), salt, and baking powder. Grate the frozen margarine into this mixture. Mix well until it forms a fine crumbly texture. Preheat the oven to 392°F.

Step 3

For the filling, mix cottage cheese with sugar and sour cream. I do this in a blender. The egg is useful if you need to bind the liquid mixture. However, then the filling will taste completely different, more like a cottage cheese casserole. I've made both versions, and I prefer it without the egg.

Step 4

Line the pie dish with parchment paper. Pour half of the crumble mixture, then spread the filling on top. Sprinkle with the remaining crumble. Bake at 392°F for 30 minutes.
