Notes & Tips:

Be sure to strain and mix the cottage cheese before using it so it is not too liquidy. Feel free to play around with it and use asparagus or green beans instead! You can use Parmesan cheese instead of cottage.

Eggs with fried white beans
This is such a fun sandwich! Feel free to use wraps instead or no bread at all! This is a very spicy dish so be sure to remove the seeds from the peppers if you don’t want it too spicy!
