Chicory with ham and lean cheese from the oven
Classic chicory with ham and cheese in a light baked version with wholemeal, suited to Phase 3.
Baked chicory with ham and cheese is an indestructible classic, and this lighter version keeps all the good bits while skipping the heavy stuff. The chicory is wrapped in lean ham and topped with lean cheese, whilst a creamy sauce based on quark takes the place of a heavy roux. A crispy layer of wholemeal breadcrumbs browns the top golden and crunchy.
Phase 3 allows room for a bit more carbs, and this baked dish uses that space wisely with wholemeal and a touch of bread. Ham, cheese and quark together deliver thirty-eight grams of protein, which ensures solid satisfaction, whilst the wholemeal crumbs add slow-release carbs. This way, this comfort dish fits perfectly within your high-protein diet.
Lovely with a fresh green salad and a light mustard dressing on the side. A little extra freshly ground nutmeg over the chicory takes the flavour up a notch.
