We had this recipe today for an office brunch. It was easy to make the night before, then we warmed it in the microwave. I made it with fat free cottage cheese. For the rest of he meal we had fresh fruit, yogurt, granola and banana nut bread. Very delicious!

This recipe was delicious! My only concern is the calorie count doesn't seem quite right for the amount of cheese and stuff. How large is a serving size?
