Poppy Seed Cottage Cheese Casserole

Melt the butter and let it cool. Whisk the eggs with the sugar and stir in the cooled melted butter.

Combine the baking powder with the sifted flour and mix. Combine the wet and dry ingredients, and quickly knead into a dough.

Grease a baking pan with butter and press the dough evenly into the pan and up the sides; you can use the bottom of a glass to help shape the crust.

Place the crust in the refrigerator while you prepare the filling. Pour boiling water over the poppy seeds, let sit for 20 minutes, then drain.

Combine the cottage cheese and eggs, blending until smooth with an immersion blender. Add the sugar, starch, vanilla, and drained poppy seeds. Mix well.
