FAQs

Can I use regular cheese instead of cottage cheese?

Cottage cheese’s creamy texture and mild flavor work best in this dish, but you can try ricotta or crumbled feta for a different experience.

Is this recipe suitable for a vegan diet?

Not as is, since cottage cheese is dairy. To make it vegan, substitute with a plant-based cottage cheese alternative or silken tofu.
