Cottage cheese casserole for Easter
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. As a child, I loved all kinds of holidays—of course, my birthday was number one, but I especially looked forward to Easter, because at that time my mom and grandmother would compete in baking all sorts of treats, and naturally, I was the chief taste tester. Now I've grown up, and I've inherited their Easter recipes, including this one for Easter cottage cheese casserole. This casserole is my favorite treat, so I often prepare it as a dessert even on regular days, because I like it so much. Now I'd like to share this recipe with you and tell you how to make it. The finished dish can be served at the table.
