Notes

For a complete veggie version, skip the eggs and follow the rest of the recipe.

For a healthier version, you can use only egg whites and low fat cheese or less qty of cheese. I usually use half whole eggs and half egg whites, say if I'm using 4 eggs, I use 2 whole eggs and 2 egg whites.

Since you are using a good amount of cheese, be careful while adding salt to the filling.

Though I used cheddar cheese, you can use mozarella, gouda, swiss etc;
