Vegetarian Muffin-Tray Lasagna



Recommended Posts

These are amazing! And easy! They come out looking tidy and are a favorite of the whole family. Great for kid's packed lunches as well!

Ingredients:

Wonton wrappers (typically sold next to the tofu)
Boca vegetarian "meat" crumbles
LF ricotta
LF mozzarella
Marinara (I like Rao's)
1 egg
Parmesan
Spray for muffin tray cups

Steps:
(1) Preheat oven to 350 & spray each cupcake/muffin tray cup including the sides
(2) Lay 1 wonton wrapper in each cup
(3) Microwave a small bowl of boca crumbles about a minute
(4) stir the crumbles into the marinara (1/4 to 1/2 jar)
(5) In a bowl combine half a container of LF ricotta with one egg and a small handful of mozz
(6) layer the Tomato sauce and the ricotta mix into the cups (I go sauce, ricotta, sauce) leaving enough room for cheese topping
(7) Top each cup with a yummy layer of mozz and parmesan
(8) Cook for 20 minutes and allow 5 minutes to cool before taking them out of the tray

I've discovered that you can vary this recipe using *TACO* ingredients-- just pre-bake the wonton cup for 5 minutes on its own so that it ends up more crispy and less noodle-y. You can mix taco seasoning into the veggie meat and use salsa instead of marinara. OPTIONAL: Try variations and additions (cook in fajita vegetables; black beans; onions; top with sour cream, avocado, etc.) at the end.

I have also made "CHEESEBURGER" variety-- crisped wontons + veggie burger, chopped sugar-free bread-and-butter pickle chips, mustard, cheddar cheese. Optionally, dip in your favorite condiments/special sauce.

I also made wonton cups filled with Indian food leftovers-- ricotta/egg custard layered with saag paneer, for example.

You can get super creative! If the filling is some combination of protein/cheese + something to keep it moist, I don't see how you could go wrong.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
