  Q: Can I use frozen spinach instead of fresh?
  Yes. Use about 1 cup frozen spinach, thaw it first and squeeze out excess water before mixing.

  Q: Can I replace cottage cheese?
  Yes. You can use ricotta cheese or a mix of cream cheese and yogurt for a similar creamy texture.

  Q: What other cheeses work well?
  Mozzarella, feta, or Swiss cheese work great if you want a different flavor.

  Q: Can I make this low-carb or keto?
  Yes. This recipe is already low in carbs, so it works well for low-carb or keto diets.

  Q: How do I know when it’s done baking?
  The center should be set and the top should look lightly golden. A knife inserted in the center should come out clean.

  Q: Can I add more vegetables?
  Absolutely! Try mushrooms, onions, bell peppers, or zucchini.

  Q: How should I store leftovers?
  Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

  Q: Can I freeze these squares?
  Yes. Cut into squares, freeze in a sealed container for up to 2 months, and reheat in the oven or microwave.

  🥬 Tip: Serve with a fresh salad or yogurt dip for a quick and healthy meal.
