Gone are the days when cottage cheese<\/a> was just a bland diet food, filling up the scooped-out well of a cantaloupe. It’s now used in, well, everything\u2014whisked into eggs, blended into dips<\/a>, added to sweet treats, and, in this one-pan recipe, swapped for ricotta<\/a>. Why? It has a tangier flavor and packs more protein<\/a>, making it a great upgrade to classic recipes.<\/p>\n
