Creamy High-Protein Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
Enjoy a hearty twist on classic mac and cheese with a low-carb base of tender cauliflower florets tossed in a rich, creamy sharp cheddar sauce uplifted by the tang of Greek yogurt and a boost of protein from egg whites. This comfort dish delivers satisfying creaminess and a subtle nutty cheese flavor in every bite.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium head cauliflower (approx. 200g)
1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese (56g)
1/2 cup non-fat Greek yogurt (120g)
1 large egg white (30g)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
Pinch of salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F.
Cut the cauliflower into bite-sized florets and steam until tender, about 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, blanch in boiling water for 5 minutes and drain well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt and egg white until smooth.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender, add the shredded cheddar, Greek yogurt mixture, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Blend just until combined, leaving a bit of texture for a chunky sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Pour the cheesy cauliflower mixture into an oven-safe dish. For a slightly baked top, sprinkle a few extra shreds of cheddar on top if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes until everything is heated through and the top is lightly browned.
Serve warm as a nutrient-packed alternative to traditional mac and cheese.
