# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • High in protein, so you'll stay full through your morning without that mid-morning crash.
  • Takes less than an hour from start to finish, making it perfect for meal prep on a quiet weekend.
  • The cottage cheese creates a custardy texture that feels indulgent despite being genuinely good for you.
  • It tastes just as good cold from the fridge as it does warm, giving you flexibility for busy mornings.
02 -
  • Don't over-whisk the cottage cheese or you'll make the texture grainy instead of creamy; a minute of gentle mixing is enough.
  • A slightly jiggly center when it comes out of the oven is not a mistake—it's exactly what you want, and it sets perfectly as it cools.
03 -
  • A damp knife dipped in hot water and wiped clean between cuts gives you neat, clean slices instead of a crumbly mess.
  • This bake is naturally gluten-free if you use cornstarch, making it welcome at most tables without any fuss or substitution.
