4. Stir in shredded cheese and any chosen mix-ins (up to 1 cup).

Notes
– Use full-fat cottage cheese for a creamier texture.
– Avoid overfilling with mix-ins — 1 cup total is ideal.
– Sauté mushrooms or greens beforehand to avoid excess moisture.
– Great for meal prep — keeps well for up to 4 days refrigerated.
– Freeze slices individually and reheat as needed.
