Can something else be substituted for cottage cheese?
Hi Diane, you could try swapping in some sour cream.
I subbed the cottage cheese with:
4 oz Creme Fraiche
2 oz Feta
2 oz Goat cheese
1/4 cup heavy cream
It was moist, filled to the top of the pan and everyone thought it was delicious
I made the recipe as written and it was absolutely delicious. I cooked a frozen package of spinach in the top pan at 350 for 15 mins. Perfection.
Can this be made ahead? Prepped the evening before, refrigerated and then cooked in the morning?
Hi Heather, yes, it can. You may want to add 5 extra minutes to account for heat up time (this recipe was developed from room temperature, so if cooking from refrigerated, the eggs might need a little bit of extra time to get up to speed).
Thank you so much!
Can you prep the night before and put in Suvie and set to refrigerate and cook in morning?
Hi Nicole, yes, you can prep the night before to refrigerate and cook in the morning.
I love this recipe and make it often!! The last time I used half the cottage cheese and put the other half sour cream! It was delicious!!
Easy to make and add a variety of veggies or proteins. Love it.
Is there anything I can substitute for the flour to make it Gluten Free?
Hi Rachel, you could use GF flour or try omitting the flour all together. It should still hold together. Let us know if you make any of these changes and how they work out!
Why doesn’t the print work with this app.
Hi Bill, we are working on fixing the print function on the blog in the future. Thanks for your feedback.
If I’m meal prepping for the week, can I double up the recipe and cook in the top and bottom zones at the same time?
Hi Caleb, yes, you absolutely can.
