INGREDIENT NOTES:

EGGS:

  • Eggs are the main ingredient. These are healthy with protein. They make these bites soft. Eggs also give these bites a shape when they bake. They also mix everything easily. You can only utilize egg whites for substitution.

LOW-FAT COTTAGE CHEESE:

  • Cottage cheese is also the main ingredient. This recipe uses it to make the bites fluffy. This also creates creaminess in the bites. We do not need heavy cream. Cottage cheese can melt smoothly in the mix. It also consists of protein. Substitute options are silken tofu or Greek yogurt.

REDUCED-FAT CHEDDAR CHEESE:

  • This cheese does not include many WW points. These make the bites settle. It also provides creaminess. We get a good taste from using it. For substitutes, use part-skim mozzarella or vegan cheese.

SPINACH:

  • Spinach is healthy. It does not increase the calories in the recipe. It provides fiber. When baking, it also includes a nice color to the bites. It can mix very smoothly. Alternatives for this are broccoli or kale.

BELL PEPPERS:

  • These are nutritious as well. They have vitamins in them. They make the bites a bit sweet. We get a good, crunchy feeling as well. Alternatives for this are red peppers (roasted) and mushrooms (pan-fried).

SEASONINGS:

  • Seasonings help keep the WW points low. All of the seasonings improve the taste of the bites. For substitution, use chili flakes, Italian seasoning, or paprika.
