Protein-Packed Cauliflower Mac with Sharp Cheddar
Enjoy a comforting twist on traditional mac and cheese by substituting pasta with nutrient-rich cauliflower. This dish blends tender steamed cauliflower with a creamy, cheesy sauce enhanced by Greek yogurt and a perfectly cooked egg for extra protein, creating a balanced, savory meal with a delightful texture and flavor.
INGREDIENTS
150 grams Cauliflower
56 grams Sharp Cheddar, shredded
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt
1 large Egg
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1 dash Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 375°F if you prefer a baked version, or prepare a stovetop skillet for a quicker cook.
Steam the cauliflower florets until they are tender, about 6-8 minutes, then transfer to a large bowl.
Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together the egg and nonfat Greek yogurt until well combined.
Add the shredded sharp cheddar to the warm, steamed cauliflower; the heat will begin to soften the cheese.
Pour the egg and yogurt mixture over the cauliflower and cheese, stirring gently to combine. Season with salt and a dash of black pepper.
For a stovetop finish, place the mixture in a non-stick skillet and heat over low-medium heat for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until the cheese is fully melted and the mixture is heated through.
If baking, transfer the mixture to a lightly greased baking dish and bake for 10 minutes until bubbly and slightly golden on top.
Serve warm and enjoy your protein-packed take on a classic comfort dish.
