8 ounces medium egg noodles

4 tablespoons butter, melted

1/2 pound cottage cheese

2 eggs, slightly beaten

1/2 cup brown sugar

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Whipped cream and toasted almonds for garnish

Preheat oven to 375 degrees.  Butter an 8" x 8" pan.  Put noodles on to boil for five minutes (a few minutes less than directions call for.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine butter, cottage cheese, eggs, brown sugar, vanilla extract and cinnamon.  Whisk until well-combined.  Pour into baking pan.  Bake 40 - 45 minutes or until set and lightly golden on top.  Let rest ten minutes before cutting into squares.  Top with whipped cream and almonds.  Serves 4 - 6.
