Notes

  • You can customize the vegetable mix based on seasonal or personal preference.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding herbs like chives or parsley.

  • This dish can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently in the microwave.
  • Use low-fat cottage cheese for a lighter version.
