FAQs
Can I use regular cheese instead of cottage cheese?
Cottage cheese provides a creamy, mild flavor that pairs well with avocado. You can substitute with ricotta or cream cheese, but stronger cheeses might overpower the dish.
How spicy is the hot honey?
The hot honey combines sweet honey with chili flakes for a mild to moderate heat. You can adjust the amount of chili flakes to suit your spice preference.
