Charlotte with Strawberries Recipe

Ingredients:

8-10 slices of white bread
500g cottage cheese
3 eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup fresh strawberries, chopped
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting (optional)

Instructions:

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a 9-inch (23cm) springform pan.
Cut off the crusts of the bread and slice into thick strips.
Mix together the cottage cheese, eggs, granulated sugar, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Add the melted butter, milk, all-purpose flour, and baking powder, and mix until well combined.
Dip each bread strip into the cottage cheese mixture and arrange vertically around the pan, pressing down gently to form a circle.
Spoon the remaining cottage cheese mixture into the center of the pan and spread out evenly.
Top with chopped strawberries and place in the oven.
Bake for 45-50 minutes or until golden brown on top and set in the center.
Lift the sides of the springform pan and release the Charlotte from the base.
Sprinkle with confectioners’ sugar (optional).
Serve warm or chilled.
