    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.
