# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It takes less than five minutes to assemble, so you can enjoy something special even on rushed mornings.
  • The hot honey adds a surprising warmth that transforms plain cottage cheese into something exciting and memorable.
  • Every spoonful gives you creamy, crunchy, sweet, and spicy all at once, keeping each bite interesting.
  • It's packed with protein and keeps you satisfied without feeling heavy or sluggish.
02 -
  • Use cold cottage cheese straight from the fridge—the contrast between chilled creamy cheese and warm honey is what makes this bowl sing.
  • Don't add the granola until right before serving, or it will lose its crunch and turn soft in the moisture.
  • If you're making hot honey from scratch, strain out the chili flakes or the heat will keep building and might become too intense.
03 -
  • Make a batch of hot honey and keep it in a jar—it stays good for weeks and turns any bowl, toast, or cheese plate into something special.
  • Use a mix of berry sizes and colors for visual appeal and varied bursts of flavor in every spoonful.
  • If your granola is already sweet, use less hot honey so the bowl doesn't tip into dessert territory.
