"I made this many years ago, when I was first married. Cottage cheese was all the go then, I remember adding chopped chives and sometimes just a little garlic powder to the finished mix which gave this so much flavor. I want to make this again ~ as it seems to have made a come back, as lately I see it being served in cafes for breakfast, served on sour dough or toasted baguette with avocado or semi sun fried tomatoes. I think you could stir through any flavors at the end, dried chili flakes, dried garlic, dried herbs or even chocolate, but only use about 1/2 to half a teaspoon if using, except for the Chocolate the more the better...lol"
