Can I use gluten-free bread?

Absolutely! Just make sure it's a sturdy gluten-free loaf that toasts well. I've had great results with gluten-free sourdough and seeded varieties - they hold up to the toppings perfectly.

Is low-fat cottage cheese okay?

It works, but full-fat gives the creamiest texture and richest flavor. If you're watching calories, I'd rather use less of the good stuff than more of the low-fat version. Taste wins every time!

How long does this keep in the fridge?

Honestly? About 30 seconds once you taste it! But seriously - assemble right before eating. The toast gets soggy if stored with toppings. Keep components separate and you're golden.

Can I add sweet toppings instead?

Sure! Try cinnamon and honey for a sweet twist. But trust me - once you go savory with garlic and chives, you might never go back. The contrast is just too good!
