Cottage cheese pie with lingonberries
Description
The recipe doesn’t take long. You can use any cottage cheese you like for the pie. But if you want the filling to be smooth and even, puree it in a blender or simply buy smooth paste-style cottage cheese. You can also make the pie with frozen lingonberries: toss the frozen berries with a little starch and spread them onto the pastry right away—without thawing.
