-------- ------------ --------------------------------
                        To grease the pan: -- Unsalted butter
     1/2          cups yellow cornmeal
12            ounces small-curd cottage cheese
4                     eggs -- lightly beaten
9                     scallions -- chopped (about 1 cup)
     1/4           cup unsalted butter -- (1/2 stick) melted
     3/4      teaspoon dried thyme
     1/4      teaspoon salt
4             ounces feta cheese

Heat oven to 400 degrees. Butter a 9-inch pie plate.
In a medium bowl, stir together the cornmeal, cottage cheese, eggs,
scallions, melted butter, thyme, and salt.
Scrape into prepared pie plate and spread evenly.
Sprinkle the feta over the top.
Bake in 400-degree oven until golden brown, set, and slightly puffed,
about 45 minutes.
Let stand 15 minutes, then serve warm.

Makes 6 servings.

Serving tips: This makes a satisfying main course with a green salad or
juicy red tomatoes, sliced and seasoned with coarsely ground black pepper
and a drizzle of olive oil.
Or, cut into wedges and serve as you would cornbread, with soups, stews,
roasts, egg dishes, or wherever an assertively flavored bread would work.
Use leftovers together with smoked [favorites] or thinly sliced
[favorites] to make small sandwiches.

You can never go wrong with eggs and cheese. Perfect for a light lunch or
supper, this cornmeal pie is reminiscent of a frittata. From "Home Cooking
