Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375ðF (190ðC) and grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.
  2. Finely chop the large onion and sauté it in the melted margarine or butter until soft and translucent.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cottage cheese, cornflakes, chopped nuts (if using), and chicken-style seasoning.
  4. Beat the eggs in a separate small bowl, then stir them into the cottage cheese mixture along with the sautéed onions.
  5. Mix all ingredients thoroughly until well combined and uniform in texture.
  6. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly.
  7. Bake for 45 to 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the center is set.
  8. Test for doneness by inserting a spoon or knife into the center; it should feel solid and not soft or runny.
  9. Let the loaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing to allow it to firm up further.
  10. Serve warm as a main dish or slice cold for sandwich fillings.
