2 cups cottage cheese (blended smooth)
3 large eggs
1/2 cup sugar (adjust to taste)
1/4 cup sour cream or plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp cornstarch or flour

Bake for 50–60 minutes, until the center is set but slightly jiggly.

Let the cake cool completely at room temp, then chill in the fridge for at least 4 hours (overnight is best).
Serve:
Enjoy plain or top with fresh berries, fruit compote, or a dusting of powdered sugar.
