Why would you describe these as healthy? They are full fat eggs and cheese.

[chescaleigh]

@babyg57 Eggs aren't fattening. They're an extremely healthy source of protien. Ricotta cheese is low in fat and calories and is also a good source of protien.

I am so jealous! Have you tried them with just egg whites?

[chescaleigh]

yes, but they don't work. i think the yolk helps them stick together. when i made them with egg whites they just fell apart.

wall of kitchen! :D that made me laugh!

[chescaleigh]

haa! thanks!

One of my favorite hobbies is cooking and I didn't see anything you could improve upon. Some dishes are best kept simple, so don't add anything to this because it seems fine the way it is. (If I had some ricotta cheese and blueberries, I'd be making them right now!)

Thats a really nice kitchen. I'm trying to move up to NY myself in the next year.

So you dont use any batter? It's just eggs and cheese? Cool! Unfortunately, I don't have any ricotta cheese... :)

[anjuness]

Can you do more please!

[freestylepurple]

so if i get an egg and a craft american cheese square, will it work the same? I need to know!! im dying just wondering!

[freestylepurple]

um flower? right?

@babyg57 true. but as long as you have normal cholesterol levels, eating 1 or 2 eggs a day isn't bad for you. also, there are two types of cholesterol: dietary cholesterol and blood cholesterol also, our body needs cholesterol to build cell walls, insulate nerve fibers and produced vitamin D.

[babyg57]

@chescaleigh "Fattening" is just a function of calories in vs calories out so I understand why you may say they are not "fattening". But they are very high in fat and moreover, cholesterol. Anyhow, I am curious about how that tastes so I may try the recipe.
