Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Cauliflower florets
- 2 medium Leeks
- 1 cup Low-fat cheddar cheese
- 1 cup Non-fat plain Greek yogurt
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 spray Non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease an 8x8-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
Prepare the cauliflower by steaming or boiling the florets until just tender, about 5-7 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
Thoroughly wash the leeks to remove any grit or dirt. Cut off the dark green tops, leaving the white and light green parts. Slice the leeks thinly into rounds.
In a large skillet over medium heat, sauté the sliced leeks in a small amount of cooking spray until softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the non-fat plain Greek yogurt, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
Gently fold in the cooked cauliflower, sautéed leeks, and 3/4 cup of the low-fat cheddar cheese into the yogurt mixture until everything is evenly coated.
Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread it out evenly. Sprinkle the remaining 1/4 cup of cheddar cheese over the top.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the bake is set.
Allow the bake to cool for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy warm as a side dish or light main course.
