# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • Protein-packed enough to keep you full until lunch, with zero guilt about having seconds.
  • The cottage cheese disappears completely into this creamy, custardy texture that somehow tastes indulgent while being genuinely good for you.
  • Works hot, cold, or room temperature, making it perfect for those mornings when you're already running behind.
02 -
  • Don't over-blend the cottage cheese at the beginning, or you'll end up with something that tastes grainy instead of creamy and custard-like.
  • Frozen blueberries work perfectly here because they release their moisture slowly as the bake cooks, keeping everything tender instead of dry.
03 -
  • If your cottage cheese is lumpy, blend it on its own for 30 seconds before adding the other ingredients—it'll make everything taste smoother and more refined.
  • Room-temperature ingredients blend together more seamlessly, so pull everything out of the fridge 15 minutes before you start if you have the time.
