I also cut this in half and used low fat ingredients.

Yes, this can be cut in half. It appears that the recipe was originally published as a freezer friendly recipe -- hence the two pans and freeze one. Each of the ingredients will divide easily. I will be making it with lower-fat ingredients. I have found in the past that egg substitute (or egg whites), skim milk, fat-free cottage cheeses, and reduced-fat cheese have little effect on the results of such recipes.
