Notes
Adjust the cheese: You can substitute part of the cottage cheese with Greek yogurt for extra tanginess. Wrap leftover slices in plastic wrap and store in an airtight container for the best freshness. Freeze slices for up to 3 months. Reheat in the oven at 350°F for about 10 minutes, or microwave for 30 seconds with a splash of water to keep it moist.
