Beat eggs and sugar together, then beat in the vanilla. In a separate large bowl, combine the cream cheese, milk and cottage cheese. Stir in the noodles. Pour in the egg mixture and stir to combine.
Melt the butter in a 8x8 or 9x9 square casserole dish. Coat the dish with the melted butter and pour the remaining butter into the noodle mixture. Pour the noodle mixture into the prepared baking dish.
