How do I prevent my cottage cheese bake from being watery?

Make sure both the cottage cheese and spinach are properly drained. Let the cottage cheese rest in a fine strainer for 10–15 minutes, and squeeze all the excess water from the thawed spinach. This prevents sogginess and gives you that beautifully set, sliceable texture.

Can I use fresh spinach instead of frozen?

Yes, fresh spinach works great! Just sauté about 6 cups of fresh spinach until wilted, press it dry, and chop it before adding. It’s a tasty swap that brings a slightly brighter flavor and color to your bake.

Can I freeze this recipe?

Absolutely. This spinach artichoke bake freezes well in individual portions. Cool completely, wrap each slice tightly, and store in freezer-safe bags. It’ll last up to 2 months and reheats beautifully in the oven or microwave.
