Lazy Cheese Buttons

Ingredients:

Buttons

• 1 large container cottage cheese (22 0z.)
• 2 cups flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 4 eggs
• 1 tsp baking powder

Topping

• 1-2 Onions, sliced
• 1-2 T. Butter
• Cream, about 2 cups or enough to almost cover buttons

Procedure:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Mix all the ingredients for the buttons together in a large bowl.  
3. Place rounded tablespoons of the dough on a greased baking sheet.  It may take two baking sheets. Bake 15-20 minutes.
4. While buttons are cooking, prepare sautéed onions.  Melt butter in pan and add sliced onions.   Let sauté  until they are carmelized.
5. Place cheese buttons in a roaster or large casserole dish.  Top with sautéed onions and cream.  (Don't be stingy with that cream, the buttons will wallow in all that creamy goodness.)
6. Bake for 20 minutes and enjoy!
