Notes
Cottage Cheese Texture: If you're not a fan of the texture of cottage cheese, you can blend it with all the ingredients, except the eggs, until it is smooth. And then mix it in with the eggs.
Boiling Eggs: For perfectly hard-boiled eggs, place them in a pot, cover them with water, and bring them to a boil, then turn off the heat and let them sit for 10-12 minutes before transferring them to an ice bath.
