Prepare the filling:
In a large bowl, combine 500g cottage cheese, 3 eggs and 2 tablespoons fresh cream.
Add salt to taste and mix until well combined.
Prepare the filo tart:
Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F).
Lay out filo tart sheets and brush each one with melted butter.

Enjoy the pie warm or at room temperature.
