Baked Cauliflower Mac with Crispy Breadcrumb Topping
Enjoy a comforting, lighter twist on mac and cheese by swapping pasta for tender cauliflower florets. Creamy low-fat cottage cheese and Greek yogurt blend with a hint of low-fat cheddar for a rich, cheesy texture, all topped with a crispy whole wheat breadcrumb crust. Perfectly balanced for a satisfying meal any time of day.
INGREDIENTS
3 cups cauliflower florets (approx. 210g)
1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese (approx. 110g)
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (approx. 120g)
1/4 cup low-fat shredded cheddar cheese (28g)
2 tablespoons whole wheat panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon olive oil
Pinch salt
Pinch black pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F.
Steam the cauliflower florets until just tender, about 5 minutes, then lightly mash them to create a creamy texture while still retaining some chunks.
In a large bowl, combine the mashed cauliflower with cottage cheese, Greek yogurt, and shredded cheddar. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.
Transfer the cauliflower mixture to an oven-safe dish, spreading it evenly.
In a small bowl, mix the whole wheat panko breadcrumbs with the teaspoon of olive oil until coated.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of the cauliflower mixture.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the topping is golden and crispy and the dish is heated through.
Remove from the oven and let it stand for a few minutes before serving.
