Dietary Notes:

  1. You can reduce the fat and calories without compromising the quality and taste of this dish!
    Use low-fat cheese, low-fat or skim milk, light mayonnaise, and "egg beaters®".
  2. For Passover, substitute matzoh meal or potato starch for flour, use K-l'P mayo and cheese, and omit the cumin.
  3. For wheat allergies, substitute potato starch.
