- 100 mL: water.
- 1/2 tsp (each): nutmeg and thyme.
- Salt & pepper.
- 30 g: Parmesan cheese.
- Coconut oil.
So in the directions, you start chopping vegetables. Then you make the creamy sauce: mixing cottage cheese, water, nutmeg, thyme, salt and pepper. After that you pour this cream in the casserole with vegetables and sprinkle Parmesan cheese. Finally you just bake.
