This time, I used (among the usual other ingredients) four eggs and two 500 ml (four cups) containers of cottage cheese-- no sour cream, yogurt or lemon. It's not bad, but a touch too eggy. So what I'm going to do next time is use the 2 containers of cottage cheese, but use only 3 eggs. In retrospect, it's what I should have done in the first place, since the recipe normally calls for 4 eggs with that amount of cheese (if not cottage) plus a cup (250 ml) of sour cream (I used yogurt).

So, in sum, cut out the yogurt entirely and only use 3 eggs.

What are you trying to make? My recipe: Just pour in a cup of sugar, 2 "containers" of "cottage" cheese, four eggs, half a bag of flour, mix, and bake for 45 minutes at 451.

Half a bag of flour? "Cottage" cheese? What are YOU trying to make?

Do you cook at Harry and the Natives in Hobe Sound? Their much-acclaimed key lime pie tastes like it is made of drywall.

Oh ya, that's right; cheesecake. They normally call for a tablespoon of flour, but I generally omit that and it turns out a touch creamier/smoother. You're right about the cup of sugar, but if I only use 3 eggs next time, I suppose I should reduce the sugar a little bit. So thanks to you, I'll do that!

No way. You need to use five eggs and a cup and a half of cottage cheese.

All too often, when I listen to others and do things based on their recommendations, things go awry.
