I love savory foods with a lot of flavor. I based this recipe on the Ricotta Bake from previous threads. The cheddar and Greek yogurt were the key to making this very satisfying for me.
15 ounces light ricotta cheese
1 package frozen spinach, thawed and squeezed dry (would also be great with broccoli or cauliflower)
1 cup freshly grated/shredded parmesan cheese
1 large egg
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (use 2% if you like, for less fat)
3 tablespoons fat free Greek yogurt
salt to taste
Mix all together - except for 1/2 C of parmesan -- put in a baking dish. Then add another 1/2 C of parmesan cheese on top and bake @ 350 till golden - - about 30 minutes.
or
Mix all together and put in a container of your choice. When you want a melty, cheezy snack, spoon out about a tablespoon and microwave for 30 seconds.
(If you are concerned about the raw egg in the recipe, baking is always the safe bet. Reheating is easy and equally melty and cheezy.)
According to a recipe/nutrition calculator, each tablespoon contains about 6 grams of Protein. Fat will vary with the type of cheese you use. With regular cheddar, it has 5grams of fat and 81 calories.
