INGREDIENTS
2 cups Cauliflower Florets (150g total)
1/2 cup Sharp Cheddar Cheese, shredded (56g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (125g)
3 large Egg Whites (approx 51g)
1/4 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 pinch Salt
1 pinch Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Toss the cauliflower florets with a pinch of salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Spread evenly on a baking tray and roast in the oven for about 20 minutes until tender and slightly golden.
While the cauliflower is roasting, in a small bowl, whisk together the egg whites and nonfat Greek yogurt until smooth.
Once the cauliflower is done, transfer it to a blender or food processor and blend until it reaches a coarse, pasta-like consistency. Alternatively, lightly mash the roasted cauliflower with a fork for added texture.
Return the mashed cauliflower to a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in the egg white and yogurt mixture, allowing it to warm gently without scrambling the eggs.
Gradually fold in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, stirring until the cheese is melted and the mixture becomes creamy. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt, pepper, or garlic powder if desired.
Serve hot as a comforting bowl of protein-packed 'mac', perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
