I have a similar recipie, but I don''t use the cheese or the egg and substitute the bacon for 50g of ham, also add some chicken for extra protien.

I left out the onion and added swiss mushrooms instead. I also used parmesan instead of regular cheese for extra flavour. Delicious!!

Really nice: exchange reduced-fat cheese for low fat ricotta for a creamier sauce

I use a small bit of parmesan rather than regular cheese. Lowers the cals and fat without losing flavor.
