Notes
- You can assemble the entire casserole the night before and allow to come to room temperature before baking the next morning.
- Best served fresh, but it can also be sliced and stored in individual containers and frozen. Defrost in microwave.
- Don't be freaked out about cottage cheese. I don't like cottage cheese (neither does anyone in my family) but we love this recipe. You don't taste it - it's just there to add body and a little extra protein.
