# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but comes together in five minutes, making you feel like you actually tried on a busy morning.
  • The contrast between cool cottage cheese, crunchy granola, and that shocking heat from hot honey keeps every spoonful interesting.
  • It's protein-packed enough to hold you through the afternoon without the sluggish feeling of heavier breakfast foods.
02 -
  • Temperature matters more than you'd think—the hot honey needs to actually be warm enough to steam a little when it hits the cold cottage cheese, or the whole experience falls flat.
  • Don't assemble this more than a minute before eating; granola absorbs moisture like a sponge, and cottage cheese gets watery if it sits too long.
03 -
  • Warm the bowls slightly under hot water before assembling; it keeps the hot honey from cooling too fast and the whole experience stays warm longer.
  • If your cottage cheese curds feel too large, stirring it gently with a fork smooths them out and makes the texture more inviting.
