Ingredients
4 eggs1/2 C sugar24 oz cottage cheese, nonfat1 lbsp vanilla3 cups fresh or frozen cranberries8 oz pkg phyllo dough3-4 Tbsp olive oil
Directions
whip eggs, add sugar and cottage cheese, still till well mixed, stir in frozen cranberries (1lb package). set aside.

Spray lasagna pan with Pam. Open package of phyllo dough layer 3 sheets in pan sprinkle with oil, layer 3 more sheets, then spread a quarter of the cheese cranberry mixture then repeat with phyllo sheets until all sheets and cheese filling are used. remember to sprinkle top layer with oil for pretty color.

Bake approximately 1hr 15min on 350. till nicely golden.

remove from oven and allow to cool down before slicing...makes 16 2x2 in servings. Good at room temp even better when cool from refrigerator.

this is my own creation based a bit on my Croatian heritage. Original recipe had more sugar and used butter about 2-3 sticks. This is a healthier version...not too sweet and uses a good fat.

if you enjoy this dish: remember to freeze cranberries at Thanksgiving since they are seasonal and hard to purchase in summer.

hope you enjoy!
