Does it get any more Midwestern than this? As a gal from the central states, I had to create this fun twist on deviled eggs with cottage cheese. They are super high protein, filling, and a great appetizer for a crowd.
Cottage cheese: you either love it or hate it. I happen to be in the first camp, so I love adding cottage cheese to all kinds of great recipes: cottage cheese pasta salad, high protein breakfast bowls, and now my cottage cheese deviled eggs. The cottage cheese replaces mayo, so this is a great alternative if you don’t like the taste of mayonnaise!
