INGREDIENTS
1/2 cup dry Whole Wheat Macaroni (56g)
1 ounce Reduced Fat Cheddar Cheese (28g)
1 Whole Egg
2 Large Egg Whites
1/4 cup Plain Nonfat Greek Yogurt (60g)
1/4 cup Whole Wheat Breadcrumbs (15g)
1/2 tsp Dried Oregano
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the whole wheat macaroni according to package directions until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked macaroni with the reduced fat cheddar cheese, whole egg, egg whites, Greek yogurt, and whole wheat breadcrumbs.
Season the mixture with dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Gently stir until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Scoop the mixture into small fritters (about the size of a golf ball) and shape them slightly flat to ensure even baking.
Place the fritters on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray or brush the tops with a small amount of olive oil if desired for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the fritters are golden brown and crispy around the edges.
Remove from the oven and let cool slightly before serving. Enjoy warm as a satisfying meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
