Directions
- Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, mix flour and 1/4 teaspoon salt; cut in 1/2 cup butter until crumbly. Gradually add cottage cheese, tossing with a fork until dough holds together when pressed. Shape into a disk.

- In large skillet, heat remaining 3 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until golden brown. Stir in Canadian bacon, pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Remove from heat; add eggs and cheddar cheese. Pour into crust.
- Bake on a lower oven rack 40-45 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Let stand 10 minutes before cutting.
