# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It delivers serious protein without feeling like diet food, just rich and comforting.
  • Everything mixes in one bowl and bakes hands-off while you do other things.
  • Leftovers reheat beautifully, making busy weekday lunches effortless.
02 -
  • Squeeze your spinach like your life depends on it, I once skipped this step and ended up with a soggy puddle instead of a firm bake.
  • Draining the cottage cheese makes all the difference, just tip it into a fine mesh strainer for a minute before mixing.
03 -
  • Let the bake rest for five minutes after baking so it sets completely and slices cleanly without falling apart.
  • Use block feta and crumble it yourself, the pre-crumbled stuff often has added starches that change the texture.
