Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Blend the Ingredients

Add Cheese on Top – For a cheesy version, sprinkle extra cheese before baking.
Let It Cool – Makes it easier to handle and slice.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes—especially when made with almond flour and full-fat cottage cheese.

Absolutely. Just adjust your baking pan size or cook in batches on the skillet.
