  • Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a handful of chopped nuts on top before baking for extra flavor and crunch.

FAQs

Can I use low-fat cottage cheese instead of full-fat?

Yes, you can use low-fat cottage cheese, but the bake may be slightly less creamy and rich. Full-fat adds moisture and flavor that enhances the texture.

Can I make this recipe vegan or dairy-free?

This recipe relies on cottage cheese and eggs for protein and structure. To make it vegan or dairy-free, you’ll need suitable substitutes like a plant-based yogurt and a flax or chia egg, though results may vary.
