How can I make this breakfast bake keto?

To make this High Protein Triple Berry Bake keto-friendly, use a sugar-free natural sweetener like monk fruit or stevia instead of honey or maple syrup. Also, stick with almond flour as your base and skip the optional oats. Berries are naturally lower in carbs than other fruits, but use them in moderation to keep net carbs low.

Can you taste the cottage cheese in this recipe?

Not at all! When you blend the full-fat cottage cheese with the eggs, it creates a smooth and creamy custard-like base. Once baked, the flavor mellows and the texture becomes more like a cheesecake or creamy egg bake. Most people can’t even tell it contains cottage cheese—it’s that well-balanced. If you're hesitant, give our Blueberry Cottage Cheese Breakfast Bake a try too—it’s just as delicious and subtle.

How do I store and reheat this bake?

Store your baked cottage cheese breakfast squares in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. For best texture, let the bake cool completely before refrigerating. To reheat, microwave individual slices for 30–40 seconds or warm in a 300°F oven until heated through. This makes it a perfect easy make-ahead breakfast for busy weeks.

Can I use frozen berries instead of fresh?

Absolutely! This recipe works great with either. If you’re using frozen mixed berries, do not thaw them before baking. Toss them in a little almond flour first—this trick helps absorb excess moisture and prevents the bake from becoming watery. The final texture will still be firm, sliceable, and bursting with berry flavor. Want another protein-rich option that reheats beautifully?
