This is delicious if you omit the salt. 2 teaspoons salt is way too salty. I think THe cheese actually adds salt. I also cut down on the onions in this recipe. I believe the original recipe called for three green onions, chopped. I have also made this with diced ham. Thank you for a delicious recipe!
