Top mixture with remaining Parmesan cheese and green onions.

  5. Bake in the oven until cooked through and set, about 45 minutes.

Recipe Note

This recipe is South Beach and Atkins Diet friendly. We have been eating high protein, low fat, low carb for quite some time and missed some of our favorite dishes, so I have been finding a way to remake them. This is a great recipe to utilize leftovers!
