INGREDIENTS
300 grams Cauliflower
1.5 ounce-equivalent Sharp Cheddar Cheese (approx. 42 grams)
1/2 cup Nonfat Cottage Cheese
1/4 cup Low-Fat Plain Greek Yogurt
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/4 teaspoon Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Break the cauliflower into florets and steam or boil them until very tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Drain the cauliflower well and transfer to a large bowl. Mash lightly with a fork or use a food processor for a smoother texture.
Mix in the nonfat cottage cheese and Greek yogurt, stirring until the mixture is creamy and well combined.
Fold in the shredded sharp cheddar, reserving a small sprinkle for the top, and season with salt and pepper.
Transfer the mixture into an oven-safe dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheddar evenly on top.
Bake for 10-12 minutes until the cheese on top is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven, let cool slightly, and serve warm. Enjoy this creamy, protein-packed twist on a classic comfort dish!
