Can I use low-fat cottage cheese?

Yes, you can! However, full-fat cottage cheese provides a richer, creamier texture that melts beautifully. Low-fat might be slightly more watery.

Do I have to blend the cottage cheese?

Not strictly necessary, but blending it removes the curds, creating a smooth, ricotta-like consistency which most people prefer in a bake like this.

Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.
