Cottage Cheese Puff

By SMorrissey

This airy baked cheese and egg casserole resembles a souffle, but without all the fuss.

Ingredients

• 2 cups cottage cheese
• 3/4 cup soft whole wheat bread crumbs (about 1 slice)
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/3 cup snipped parsley
• 1/3 cup finely chopped green onion
• 2 tablespoons margarine or butter
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 4 eggs
• 1 tablespoon snipped parsley

Preparation

Step 1

In a medium mixing bowl combine cottage cheese, bread crumbs, flour, 1/3 cup parsley, green onion, margarine or butter, and salt. Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl beat eggs with an electric mixer on high speed about 5 minutes or until thick and lemon colored. Gradually pour the cottage cheese mixture over the beaten eggs, folding to combine.

Pour the egg mixture into an ungreased 5- or 6-cup souffle dish or casserole. Bake in a 350 degree F oven about 1 hour or until a knife inserted near the center comes out clean. Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon parsley. Serve immediately. Makes 6 main-dish servings.
