Notes
Not a fan of cottage cheese? Try these five alternative filling ideas instead:
- Tinned salmon in brine, drained. Top with cream cheese, lemon juice and dill or parsley to garnish.
- Try a low carb version of a breakfast burrito - Add cooked beef mince, grated Cheddar, cherry tomatoes, lettuce, sour cream and a squeeze of lime.
- BLT - Just add bacon, lettuce and tomato.
- Go Caprese style! Add a salad of buffalo mozzarella or boccconcini cheese with sweet cherry tomatoes, and basil with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil and balsamic vingear.
- Scramble some eggs and top with cripsy bacon – YUM!
