Ingredients:

• 1 c lowfat (2%) cottage cheese
• 1/2 c finely chopped walnuts

Directions:

1. In a large bowl, mix all ingredients except the oil together until well combined.
2. Divide mixture into 8 patties and shape them in your palms.
3. Preheat griddle or skillet to 350 degrees F. Use enough oil to amply coat the frying surface, and heat the oil a few seconds.
