Pro Tips
- Full Fat = Better Texture: Avoid low-fat cottage cheese to prevent a watery, rubbery bake.
- Berry Tip: If using frozen blueberries, add them straight from the freezer to prevent color bleeding.
- Meal Prep Friendly: Freeze individual slices for up to 2 months for a grab-and-go breakfast.
