For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a dash of vanilla extract or a pinch of nutmeg to the cottage cheese mixture. If you're using a homemade pastry crust, blind bake it before adding the filling to prevent a soggy bottom. Don't overbake the pie, or the filling will crack. The center should still have a slight jiggle when you remove it from the oven. Garnish with fresh berries or a dusting of powdered sugar before serving for an elegant presentation.
