Diet food can be Delicious!


As some of you expressed that you'd rather save the sweets for some healthy food, here's a quick and low calorie recipe that will not only make you full but also wondering why you haven't tried this before. Cauliflower soufle is something you wouldn't think of cooking yourself but I'm positive that once you try it, you'll love it for good!

Ingredients:
  • one large cauliflower - you can also use 500g frozen florets
  • 200g emmentaler/cheddar cheese grated
  • 3 tomatoes
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 100ml milk
Start by separating the small florets of your cauliflower - broccoli will do just fine if you like it - and boil it for about 20 minutes on a medium heat in 1litre of salted water. Make sure you don't boil it over the top, as we're looking for that slight crunchiness of a soufle. In a large bowl, beat an egg then add the milk and grated cheese and mix until you have a consistent batter and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Slice the tomatoes into rounds and set aside with a sprinkle of salt and rosemary on top. 


Transfer your boiled florets in an oven proof dish and pour your cheese mixture on top. Decorate with your marinated tomato slices and leave in an 180C oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the tomatoes have dried and the cheese looks golden. Serve with white wine. A big serve (200g) will only take you back around 120 calories making it the perfect recommendation for a light and consistent lunch. Enjoy!

Bon Appetit!
