Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Special K cereal
- 2 cups Low-fat cottage cheese
- 6 large Eggs
- 1 medium, finely diced Onion
- 0.25 cup Butter (melted)
- 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a standard loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Special K cereal and cottage cheese. Stir until evenly mixed.
Add the eggs, finely diced onion, melted butter, and soy sauce to the cereal mixture. Stir well to thoroughly combine.
Add the garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and black pepper to the mixture. Stir again to ensure all the seasonings are evenly distributed.
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan, pressing it down gently with a spatula to ensure it is evenly distributed and compact.
Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 55 to 60 minutes, or until the loaf is golden brown on top and firm to the touch.
Remove from the oven and let the loaf cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Then, gently lift it out or turn it out onto a serving platter.
Slice the loaf into portions and serve warm. It pairs beautifully with a side salad or steamed vegetables.
