# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It feels indulgent but secretly packs 16 grams of protein per slice without trying too hard.
  • You can prep it in under 10 minutes using ingredients you probably already have hiding in your fridge.
  • It reheats beautifully all week long, so your future self will actually thank you.
02 -
  • If you skip squeezing the spinach dry, the bake will release water as it cooks and turn runny instead of sliceable.
  • Draining your cottage cheese for even five minutes in a fine mesh strainer makes a noticeable difference in texture.
03 -
  • Let the bake rest for at least five minutes after baking so it sets up and slices cleanly instead of falling apart.
  • Use full-fat cottage cheese and feta for the richest flavor and creamiest texture, it's worth it.
