Cheesy Matzah Pie

Let’s get to it!

6–7 square matzahs

5 eggs

1 cup milk

2 cups cottage cheese

1/3 cup sugar

3/4 teaspoon salt

3 tablespoons butter, melted

1 teaspoon cinnamon

And here’s how you do it!

1.  Beat the eggs and milk together in a bowl.

2.  Add the cottage cheese, sugar, salt and melted butter. Mix again.

3.  Grease a 2-quart casserole or baking dish. Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

4.  Break the matzahs into medium-sized pieces. Arrange part of them in one flat layer on the bottom of the baking dish.

5.  Pour some of the cottage cheese mixture over the matzah. Place the rest of the matzah pieces on top and then pour the rest of the cottage cheese mix over the matzah. Depending on the size of your baking dish, you may have enough matzah pieces and cheese mix for either two or three layers. The top layer should be the cheese mixture.

6.  Sprinkle cinnamon all over the top of the “pie.”

7.  Slide your matzah pie into the hot oven and let it bake for 35-40 minutes, until it is set.

Serve as is, or topped with sliced peaches or your favorite jam. Serves 6.
