Made with cream cheese or cottage cheese, with egg whites gently folded into the batter, and then boiled, it has nothing to do with cheese log appetizers so well known to serve with Ritz crackers.
This version is a healthy and comforting side dish. While the roll was slowly boiling, I made this beef stew to have for two days.
Below, you see how the roll looks before inserted into the pot. Make sure to wrap it loosely since it puffs while slowly boiling.
