Well I made these again. This time I omitted the 1/2 teaspoon of salt. They were almost perfect. The one thing I did that I would will do next time I make them is to find a better way to incorporate the onion. , they do not cook long enough to cook the onion. I think I will mix the onion in the blender. But these are really great This is a great recipe to work with. Believe me tho. Omit the added salt
Thanks for sharing!
I made these. Instead of bacon I used jimmy dean saugage I used part sharp cheddar. These would of been awesome if not for the fact that they were very salty. I suggest not adding anything salt to this recipe. So any ideas how to make them less salty? I am going to make them again, using no added salt
I am sorry to hear, Joyce!
It is ok Becky. It is a great recipe and I love these. For health reasons I just need to tweak this recipe. Thanks for posting it. I follow you snd love your recipes
can i substitute ricotta for the cottage cheese?
It will alter the taste a little bit!
