Notes

I baked mine for exactly 40 minutes in a rectangular pan. Fresh pear can be used instead of canned.

Tips

• Pear can be fresh too - pick a ripe but firm one so the pieces don't fall apart during baking.
• Cottage cheese should be mashed with the eggs until fully smooth - that's what gives the casserole its smooth texture.
• Butter should be melted ahead of time and cooled before mixing into the cottage cheese mass.
• Cutting is easier once the casserole has cooled - it's still too soft while warm.
