INGREDIENTS
1 medium baking potato (150g)
3 slices turkey bacon
1/3 cup low-fat cottage cheese
1/4 cup part-skim mozzarella cheese
1 large egg white
1 tbsp chopped fresh chives
Pinch garlic powder
Salt and pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Bake the potato directly on the oven rack for about 45 minutes or until tender. Let it cool slightly.
While the potato is baking, cook the turkey bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Once done, crumble or chop it into small pieces.
Slice the baked potato in half lengthwise and carefully scoop out most of the flesh into a bowl, leaving a thin shell.
To the scooped potato, add the low-fat cottage cheese, egg white, part-skim mozzarella, crumbled bacon (reserve a little for topping), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined and creamy.
Spoon the mixture back into the potato shells, piling it slightly.
Return the stuffed potatoes to the oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes until the filling is warmed through and the cheese is slightly melted on top.
Garnish with the remaining bacon pieces and chopped fresh chives before serving.
