Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that your Cottage Cheese Pie will bake evenly and to perfection.

4. Whip Egg Whites: In a separate clean bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks. This adds airiness and lightness to your pie filling.

5. Fold Egg Whites: Gently fold the beaten egg whites into the cottage cheese mixture until just combined. Be careful not to overmix to maintain the fluffy texture.

6. Bake: Transfer the prepared mixture into a pie dish or baking pan, spreading it evenly. Place it in the preheated oven and bake for about 30 minutes or until the top is beautifully browned and the filling is firm to the touch.
