Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Special K cereal
- 2 cups Cottage cheese
- 4 large Eggs
- 1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 cup Pecans or walnuts, chopped
- 0.25 cup Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 teaspoons Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- as needed Cooking spray or additional butter
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Lightly grease a 9x5-inch loaf pan with cooking spray or butter and set it aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Special K cereal, cottage cheese, and eggs. Mix thoroughly until evenly blended.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, chopped onion, and chopped pecans or walnuts to the bowl. Stir to combine.
Pour in the melted butter and soy sauce, then mix well to evenly distribute the liquid ingredients.
Season the mixture with garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir everything together until fully integrated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared loaf pan and press it down gently to create an even surface.
Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the loaf is set in the center.
Remove the loaf from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes before slicing.
Serve warm as a main dish, or allow it to cool completely and serve slices as a snack or sandwich filling.
