INGREDIENTS
150g Cauliflower
40g Whole Wheat Macaroni
50g Cheddar Cheese
1 large Egg
1/4 cup Low-Fat Milk
2 tbsp Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni in boiling water according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
Steam or lightly boil the cauliflower florets until tender but not mushy, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and low-fat milk. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a larger mixing bowl, combine the cooked macaroni, steamed cauliflower, and shredded cheddar cheese.
Pour the egg-milk mixture over the ingredients and gently stir until everything is well coated.
Using a spoon or your hands, form the mixture into small, bite-sized balls or patties and place on the prepared baking sheet.
Sprinkle the whole wheat breadcrumbs evenly on top of each bite for a crispy finish.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the bites are golden brown and set.
Allow the bites to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm!
