Also . . . used my Ninja Foodi airfryer on ‘BAKE”
This was very tasty! Added onion and chopped spinach layer b/t the mozzarella and egg mix. Didn’t have cottage cheese so I used ricotta and topped with ground chipotle chili pepper. Used an immersion blender. Fast, easy and simple clean-up. Made it in the air fryer. Thanks. Hit that spot that eating low carb often needs to be filled.
I made this recipe today, so good! I added a yellow onion and red bell peper uncooked to the top layer of chicken/cheese layer, it added such an amazing flavor! This recipe will be added to my file. Thank you for all the recipes you post, you are an amazing cook and full of ideas!
I did not see a reply to whether you could use ricotta instead of cottage cheese?
Any changes and modifications to the recipe would be up to you.
I loved the texture of this casserole but for myself and my husband it was a bit bland as printed. Maybe next time i would add come stir fried carrots, onions and peppers.
Can you use something other then cottage cheese?
Made this a couple of nights ago – a success for me. I added finely diced onions, about 1/4 cup, half can of diced green chilies for little more zing. It took an extra 10 minutes to bake probably due to the added moisture. I’ll keep this recipe on hand and may add a few more spices next time. Was great with a green salad.
What are your suggested sides with this? I was thinking a berry salad maybe?

Delightfully delicious!!!
Could you use ricotta in place of cottage cheese?
Do you have to use a food processor ?
I’ve only made this as written so I can not say with certainty.
I don’t have a food processor…can I use a
mixer instead?
I’m sure that would work fine
Marlene,
It’s much easier to blend using a food processor, but I think you CAN make it without one. The next best thing would be to use a “stand” mixer. If you don’t have one, then try a hand mixer. It may help to let the cream cheese, cottage cheese and sour cream sit in your mixing bowl for a bit, to help with the blending process.
