This dish delivers a rich, sharp cheddar flavor balanced by the mild cauliflower, making it a nourishing meal that fits right into your calorie and protein goals.
INGREDIENTS
2 cups chopped cauliflower (150g)
2 oz shredded sharp cheddar cheese (56g)
1/2 cup nonfat Greek yogurt (120g)
2 egg whites
1/4 cup skim milk (60g)
Salt, pepper, garlic powder to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F if you prefer a baked version or prepare a steamer for the cauliflower.
Steam the chopped cauliflower until tender, approximately 8-10 minutes. Alternatively, roast in the oven for 15-20 minutes for a slightly caramelized flavor.
In a small saucepan over low heat, combine the nonfat Greek yogurt, skim milk, and egg whites. Whisk continuously until slightly thickened, about 2-3 minutes, ensuring the egg whites are fully incorporated without scrambling.
Remove the saucepan from heat and mix in the shredded sharp cheddar cheese until melted into the sauce. Season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
Toss the steamed cauliflower with the creamy cheese sauce until evenly coated.
Serve warm and enjoy this protein-packed twist on a classic mac and cheese dish.
