Cook Time: 40-60
Servings: 4-6

Ingredients:

Pie Crumbs:
125 gr unsalted butter
1 cup unbleached white flour, sifted
1/4 cup of sugar

Filling:
500 gram Farmer’s cottage cheese
3 table spoons of sour cream
2 egg
1/2 cup of sugar
1 cup of fresh or canned pineapple chunks

Love recipes with cottage cheese for their delicious taste. This one is not exception.
I am using a Farmer’s cottage cheese, it is not that fluid. If you will use the American cottage cheese, you will need to start preparing it the night before. Place the cheese on the cheese cloth, tight it well and put over on colander to drain the access of liquid from it. The harder cheese you get is better.

Keep butter in refrigerator before using it.

In separate bowl combine Farmer cheese, sugar and eggs, sour cream.  ATTENTION: if you’re using American style cottage cheese, you may not need the sour cream, depending of how hard or soft your cheese is.  Mix it well to an even consistency. Then carefully fold chunks of pineapples into a cheese mixture.

Spread a half of crumbs on the bottom of a greased 9.5×6 in (or 7x7in) baking dish. Fold in cheese filling on top of crumbs, to cover them. Then spread  remaining crumbs over the cheese filling.

Bake dish in the oven at 350F (or 180 C), for about 40-60 min, or until golden brown, depending on your oven.
Check the readiness with the wooden stick.

Welcome To My Blog!

Hi, my name is Olga.  I would like to welcome you to my site.

I created it first of all, to save my family’s recipes and then to share them with my friends and those who have tasted some Russian/Ukrainian food and liked it. But I also would like to introduce it to those who haven’t yet, but would like to.

I will try to keep my recipes simple, but there are few that might require more prep time or ingredients for preparation. You will also find some of my family’s favorite American recipes here and other international cuisines.

I thank you for visiting my site. I hope you will fall in love with Russian/Ukrainian food and will come back again.
