INGREDIENTS
200g Cauliflower
100g Low-Fat Cottage Cheese
2 Egg Whites
20g Parmesan Cheese
2 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
Pinch Black Pepper
Pinch Salt
PREPARATION
Cut the cauliflower into florets and steam until very tender, about 8-10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine the low-fat cottage cheese and egg whites until smooth. Set aside.
In a large non-stick pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the steamed cauliflower and sauté briefly with a pinch of salt and plenty of freshly ground black pepper.
Lower the heat and add the cottage cheese and egg white mixture into the pan, stirring gently to incorporate with the cauliflower, creating a creamy base.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and coats the cauliflower. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra salt or pepper if needed.
Serve immediately, enjoying the warm, creamy, and peppery flavors of this high-protein twist on a classic dish.
