# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The contrast between cool, tangy cottage cheese and warm, fiery honey creates an addictive flavor bomb that keeps you coming back for another spoonful.
  • Comes together in minutes, so even on rushed mornings you can eat something that tastes intentional and cared for.
  • Endlessly adaptable to whatever berries, granola, and nuts you have hanging around your kitchen.
02 -
  • Hot honey only works if it's actually warm when it hits the bowl—if you make it ahead, reheat it gently so the heat spreads through the whole thing.
  • The granola ratio matters; too little and you miss the textural conversation between creamy and crunchy, too much and it becomes a granola bowl with some cottage cheese.
03 -
  • If your cottage cheese has released liquid, drain it gently before serving so the bowl doesn't end up watery and sad.
  • Warm your hot honey to exactly the temperature where it's still pourable but hot enough to actually warm the cold cottage cheese—too hot and it tastes burnt, too cool and you miss the point entirely.
