Description
There are several reasons why this dish is currently dominating meal plans across the globe. First and foremost is the protein content. Cottage cheese is famous for being packed with casein protein, which keeps you full for longer periods. When you combine that with the mozzarella and perhaps some chicken or pepperoni, you have a powerhouse meal that supports muscle recovery and satiety.
