# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly grease an 8-inch square baking dish.
02 - In a large bowl, whisk cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, milk, eggs, sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, lemon zest if using, cornstarch, and salt until smooth.
03 - Gently fold the blueberries into the mixture.
04 - Pour the batter into the prepared dish and spread evenly.
05 - Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the center is set and the top is lightly golden.
06 - Allow to cool at least 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or chilled.

# Additional Tips::

01 -
  • It tastes indulgent but keeps you full through the morning without any crashes.
  • You can make it on a lazy weekend and have breakfast sorted for days.
  • No flour means you can share it with anyone watching their grains.
02 -
  • Don't skip the resting time—I learned this the hard way by cutting into one straight from the oven and getting a delicious puddle instead of neat slices.
  • If your berries are frozen, you don't need to thaw them, but they do add a few extra minutes to the baking time, so watch for that light golden color rather than just the clock.
03 -
  • Room-temperature cottage cheese whisks smoother and creates a more custardy texture than cold straight from the fridge.
  • If your bake seems to be browning too fast on top before the center sets, lay a piece of foil loosely over it for the last 10 minutes.
