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
