I made this recipe for company and it was a real hit! They couldn’t figure out how it could be so creamy and cheesy without the fat!
This is VERY yummy! My husband loved it and didn’t even guess that it was low fat! A keeper
I saw this same recipe elsewhere, it said it served 12 (!) and used two whole eggs and six egg whites instead of 5 regular eggs. I substituted non-fat ricotta for the cottage cheese. It also called for tabasco.I was not impressed, and I was very disappointed. I can’t wait to try this version of Chile Relleno Puff and see if I like it better.
I used egg substitute for the eggs and ricotta for the cottage cheese. This was excellent!! So easy and very, very good.
