How can I make this casserole low-carb or keto-friendly?

How long can I store the cottage cheese casserole, and how should I reheat it?

Store the casserole in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes or microwave individual portions for 1-2 minutes until warm.

Can I freeze this casserole for later use?
