# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in five minutes, which means breakfast that actually feels exciting instead of rushed.
  • The contrast between cool, tangy cottage cheese and warm, spicy honey creates this moment of surprise in every bite.
  • It's naturally high in protein, so you'll actually stay full instead of hunting for snacks an hour later.
02 -
  • If your hot honey sits too long before serving, it cools down and loses that crucial heat that makes this bowl sing—warm it gently just before drizzling.
  • The granola starts to soften the moment it touches the cottage cheese, so serve this immediately; waiting five minutes changes the whole texture in a way that doesn't work.
03 -
  • Make a batch of hot honey at the beginning of the week and store it in a jar—it keeps well and makes assembling these bowls even faster.
  • Toast your own granola if you have the time, because homemade granola brought into an already simple dish elevates it into something that genuinely feels special.
