The following ingredients have 4 Servings

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
  • 2 eggs (lightly beaten)

  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup chopped green pepper (optional)
  • garlic salt
  • 1 cup cottage cheese or riccota cheese (either one is great -we just use what is cheaper at the time -normally it is cottage cheese)
