Cara's Easy Cheesy Pancake Recipe... YUM!

Hey all... I tried Cara's recipe for "easy cheesy pancakes"... and although I made some adjustments to the recipe on my end, I think it is worth sharing... YUM!

Cheese Pancakes...

• 1/4 C. Ricotta Cheese
• 1/4 C. Cottage Cheese
• 1 Egg
• 1/4 to 1/2 C. French's Fried Onions (Cara used regular onions)
• 1/4 teaspoon minced garlic
• 1 1/2 tablespoons breadcrumbs (Cara's calls for flour)
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Cooking spray

Combine the cottage & ricotta cheeses, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, onions and salt/pepper in a small bowl. Stir 'till well mixed. The actual batter will be quite thick - not like normal batter. Spray a frying pan again and drop in half the mixture - it makes 2 pancakes. Cook on each side, I like my things done well, so I did about 5 mins per side. Makes 1 serve.

Cara's recipe was 250 calories and 22 grams of protein. I'm figuring mine for about 300 calories and 18 grams of protein (less protein in ricotta than cottage cheese but I like the consistency). Next time I think I'll try some other spices (maybe dill?)... but it was really yummy and I am FULL! In fact, I couldn't finish the 2nd pancake - my DH and DD were happy to help me along with that! Definitely a keeper for a quick lunch or dinner.
