Ingredients:
| 2 tablespoons | unsalted butter, thinly sliced, plus more for the dish |
| 1 pound | (2 cups) fresh cherries, pitted (or one 10-ounce bag frozen cherries, thawed and patted dry) |
| 3 | large eggs |
| 1 1/4 cup | half-and-half |
| 1/2 cup | 4% cottage cheese |
| 1/2 cup | plus 2 tablespoons granulated sugar |
| 1/2 cup | all-purpose flour |
| confectioners' sugar, for dusting |
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Butter an 11-inch-round baking dish and spread the cherries evenly over the bottom.
Whisk the eggs, half-and-half, cottage cheese, 1/2 cup granulated sugar and the flour in a bowl until combined. Pour the batter over the cherries, sprinkle with the remaining 2 tablespoons granulated sugar and scatter the sliced butter on top.
Bake until puffed and golden around the edges, about 40 minutes. Cool slightly, then dust with confectioners' sugar.
