Your weekend breakfast just got a little sweeter!
Warm, comforting, and packed with protein, our Apple Cottage Cheese Bake is the fall breakfast you’ll want to make on repeat. Juicy apples bake into creamy, protein-rich cottage cheese, creating a golden dish that’s equal parts nourishing and indulgent.
High in protein and full of seasonal flavor, it’s a better-for-you twist on a classic fall bake.
Serve it for a cozy weekend breakfast, meal prep it for the week ahead, or bring it to a fall brunch.
