This dish offers a balanced combination of protein, fiber, and flavor, perfect for a hearty meal that keeps you satisfied.
INGREDIENTS
1 medium head Cauliflower (approx. 300g)
1/2 cup shredded Sharp Cheddar Cheese (approx. 56g)
1/2 cup Nonfat Greek Yogurt (approx. 125g)
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
Pinch of Salt
Pinch of Black Pepper
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F if you plan to finish the dish with a quick broil.
Cut the cauliflower into florets, ensuring they are roughly equal in size for even cooking.
Steam the cauliflower florets in a steamer basket over boiling water for about 8-10 minutes or until tender but still maintaining a slight bite.
While the cauliflower steams, combine the shredded sharp cheddar cheese, nonfat Greek yogurt, and Dijon mustard in a blender. Blend briefly until smooth, then season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a baking dish. Pour the cheese-yogurt sauce over the cauliflower, stirring gently to coat the florets evenly.
Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the top to become lightly golden.
Remove from the oven, adjust seasoning if necessary, and serve warm as a hearty meal perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
