This is me trying to get a bit more protein into my carb-loving kiddos. You definitely want to be using small curd cottage cheese. We don’t want huge chunks. If texture is any issue for your littles, whiz things up in a blender, and it’ll get smoother. The following does have little cheese pockets.

A note on eggs

As it goes with waffles and pancakes, you can get a lot more lift from the eggs, if you separate them, and fold in the whipped whites as the last step before cooking. I absolutely believe this works and makes for excellent texture, but rarely want to dirty more dishes. I am writing it in one-bowl, but if you’re looking to impress, whisk up the egg whites to stiff peaks before adding them in the mixture.

You can make easy mapled berries by warming fresh or frozen berries and maple syrup in a pot.
