High Protein Mac & Cheese with Garlic & Herb Crumb

Name: High Protein Mac & Cheese with Garlic & Herb Crumb
Prep time: 5 min
Cook time: 20 min
Total time: 25 min
Yield: 2 servings
Ingredients: 220 g Macaroni; 70 ml Skimmed milk; 90 g Light cottage cheese; 50 g Lightest soft cheese; 1 tspn Onion powder; 1 tspn Dijon mustard; 25 g 50% reduced-fat grated cheddar; 15 g Parmesan; 30 g Grated mozzarella; Salt; Black pepper; 1 Slice of bread (I used 50/50 bread); 1 bunch Parsley; 10 g Light butter/Flora; 1 tspn Garlic granules; 1 tspn Mixed herbs; Salt

This dish is the ultimate beige food lover’s heaven. The real star of the show here is the garlic & herb crumb. It truly transforms the mac & cheese which, as delicious as it is, I find can get a bit samey after a few mouthfuls. A light dusting of these breadcrumbs simply will not suffice. The ultimate comfort food with a twist to make it higher in protein and lower in calories, but still delicious.
