Is it gluten-free?
It uses sourdough bread that contains gluten. You can swap in gluten-free bread or gluten-free sourdough if available; fermentation may aid digestion but does not remove gluten.

How do I assemble it?
Toast the bread, spread cottage cheese, top with berries, and add optional toppings like nuts, seeds, or a drizzle of honey.
Is it suitable for kids?
Generally yes, but watch portion size and consider potential dairy allergies or choking hazards for younger children.
How can I reduce sugar or calories?
Use unsweetened berries, skip added sweeteners, and choose lower-fat cottage cheese if desired.
How should I store leftovers?
Best eaten fresh; if needed, store ingredients separately in the fridge for up to 1 day and reassemble just before eating.
