Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. Lightly spray four 6-ounce custard cups or ramekins with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Arrange the prepared cups on a standard baking sheet to prevent spilling during baking.
  4. In a medium mixing bowl, combine the mashed potatoes, cottage cheese, skim milk, garlic powder, crushed rosemary, salt, and black pepper.
  5. Stir the mixture until it is smooth and well-blended, ensuring no large lumps of cottage cheese remain.
  6. Fold in the crumbled turkey bacon until evenly distributed throughout the potato mixture.
  7. Divide the mixture evenly among the four prepared custard cups, smoothing the tops with a spoon.
  8. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the centers are heated through.
  9. Remove from the oven and let cool for 5 minutes before serving to allow the cups to set.
