# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in five minutes but tastes like you actually put effort into breakfast.
  • The hot honey adds a sophisticated kick that makes cottage cheese feel exciting instead of utilitarian.
  • You can prep it while your coffee brews and still feel accomplished.
02 -
  • Hot honey will continue to spread and flavor the bowl as you eat, so don't be shy with it—this isn't the time to be frugal.
  • If your granola has large clumps or clusters, crush some of it into smaller pieces so it distributes evenly rather than sliding around.
03 -
  • A slightly warmer cottage cheese tastes richer and less cold-cereal-like, so consider letting it sit out for a minute before serving.
  • The hot honey cools slightly as it hits the cold bowl, creating this perfect lukewarm sweetness that's better than either extreme alone.
