# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's ready in five minutes, which means you can actually eat breakfast before rushing out the door.
  • The contrast between creamy, tangy cottage cheese and spicy-sweet hot honey is genuinely addictive.
  • You can make it feel fancy or casual depending on what berries and granola you have lying around.
02 -
  • If you make hot honey ahead of time, the heat from the chili flakes intensifies as it sits, so strain it after infusing to keep the spice level steady.
  • Cottage cheese can taste watery if it's been open too long, so taste yours before assembling—if it seems thin, drain it gently in a fine mesh strainer for a few minutes.
03 -
  • Toast your granola in a dry skillet for thirty seconds just before serving if it's been sitting in an open box and lost its crunch.
  • Cottage cheese tastes sweeter and richer at room temperature, so pull it from the fridge five minutes before you eat if you have the time.
