Tried this last week and it was a hit ... and it's high in Protein. According to my calculations it's 387 calories and 21g of protein (for 6 servings). I know it's a bit high in calories, but for now, I'm eating it pretty regularly because I can't seem to get enough protein or calories. Warms up well and you can even refrigerate over night and bake the next day.

4 eggs

1/2 c. whipping cream

1 tsp. sugar (I used splenda)

1/2 lb. Monterrey Jack cheese, shredded

2 oz. light cream cheese, cubed

1 c. light cottage cheese

3 Tbsp. butter or margarine

1/4 c. chopped green onions

1/2 c. flour

1 tsp. baking powder

In a bowl, beat eggs, whipping cream and sugar together. Stir in the cheeses and mix well. Melt butter in small skillet and lightly saute onions; stir in flour and baking powder (will be crumbly). Combine mixtures and blend well. Pour batter into a greased 1 1/2 quart casserole dish and bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes (if refrigerated, bake for 1 hour).

Enjoy!

sounds delish but it's only about 3 grams of protein per serving. I try not to eat anything that has less than 10 grams. Maybe you could add an unflavored protein powder to up the grams?

Globetrotter -

How did you get only 3g of protein per serving? According to my calculations between the eggs, cream cheese, cottage cheese, and 1/2 lb of monterrey jack and flour (124.8g for recipe), that equals about 20.8g per serving (that is 6 servings). Where did I go wrong? I agree, 3g of protein isn't worth it.

That sounds great, I'll have to try this one!!

Because you said 21 grams of protein for 6 servings, which equals out to 3.5 grams per serving. Or did you mean, 6 servings, 21 grams of protein each? If that's the case than this dish rocks.
