Cottage Cheese Pie

One of Mary's signature/classic desserts is Cottage Cheese Pie. The recipe is simple, and it's a good one. What makes Mary's version so good, of course, is her crust.

This dessert evokes sight, smell, and taste sensations of 1950s Sunday dinners.

1. 1 pound of cottage cheese
2. 1/2 cup of sugar
3. 2 egg yolks
4. 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla
5. 1/2 tsp of salt

7. 2 egg whites beaten stiff
8. 1 #2 can of crushed pineapple
9. 1 teaspoon of tapioca or cornstarch

2. add rest of ingredients (except those below) to above mixture; then fold in egg whites
3. add tapioca or conrstarch to pineapple and cook until thickened
4. put thickened pineapple into an uncooked pie crust and laye the cottage mixture over the top
