Hi just wondering if you’ve tried freezing these? I’d like to make a batch but don’t want to waste any.
Hi I haven’t tried freezing them. I am not sure they would freeze well because of the egg.
Hi. This recipe looks great. How long do you think they’ll last in the fridge? A couple of days? Thanks!
Hi Anna, these will keep for up to 3 days in the fridge.
Hi there.
Do you think I could omit the cottage cheese?
I really detest the stuff. Is it possible to substitute it for something else?
Hi Caz, you certainly can, but I would recommend increasing the eggs. I must add though, that you won’t even realize these have cottage cheese. I am not a big fan of it either.
Hi!!
These look great. Can’t wait to make them and sending you the photo via #littlegrazers
I just wanted to say thank you for giving us the recipe in both measurements. I’m in Australia and this is refreshing to see. Much appreciated 🙂

Hi Rebecca, thanks so much. I like to make my site as user friendly as possible and know how difficult in can be to get used to different measurements, as I moved from the UK to Canada, but also shop in the US (can be quite confusing lol). I hope you have been enjoying some recipes, sorry I took so long to reply.
Hi, thanks for sharing this recipe! I just baked it and can say it’s soo tasty. My little one loved it!
Thanks!
These were delicious! I froze a few and they were ok but much better fresh!
Oh I made with salmon instead as I don’t like tuna.
I might try puff pastry bottoms another time.
pastry would be great, you can even use some lightly bread.
Hi these will be a great addition to my daughters party food but hat can i use instead of cottage cheese as my daughter has a dairy allergy
Thank you
Hi Lexi, just leave out the cottage cheese and add some additional eggs.
What other vegetable can be substituted for corn?
spinach is a good one or onion and red pepper
I made these and they were very well received by the grandchildren, thank you.
