Questions

Can I make Herbed Garlic Cottage Cheese dairy-free?

Not cleanly. Here the dairy (2 cups cottage cheese, 2 tbsp sour cream) is the backbone of the dish, and plant-based substitutes change both its texture and its flavor. If you need strictly dairy-free, start from the dairy-free breakfast collection instead.

How long does Herbed Garlic Cottage Cheese keep?

Refrigerate leftovers within two hours and eat them within three days. It is served cold; there is nothing to reheat.

Can I halve or double Herbed Garlic Cottage Cheese?

Yes. As written it serves 4. Every ingredient in this entry carries precomputed half and double quantities, and the app's batch dial rewrites them inside each step. There is no cooking pitfall here; the quantities simply scale.
