Ingredients
DESCRIPTION
A simple low-carb savoury snack. It can even take the place of a carb like potatoes or rice, because it's filling. Crisply fried cumbled bacon or dried hot pepper flakes can be added to the mixture to add more oomph. I tried my idea in muffin tins first, but they were a little large. I've made it again, using patty tins. EDITED: I changed my mind about the patty pans -- they were too thin, and I think muffin hollows are still the best bet.
INGREDIENTS
- 1 lb ricotta cheese, fresh
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons oil (for frying)
- 1 1/2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated or 1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon lemon zest (the zest of 1 lemon)
- 1 teaspoon black pepper, coarse
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1 -2 tablespoon parsley, finely chopped
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 3 tablespoons olive oil or 3 tablespoons flax seed oil
