Ingredients:
- 3 ounces low-fat cream cheese, softened
- 3/4 cup plain Greek yogurt or Greek yogurt spread
- 1 cup shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon seasoned salt
- 10 slices of protein-packed zero-carb bread loaf
- 2 tablespoons light butter or spread, softened
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Cheese Spread:
In a mixing bowl, combine the softened low-fat cream cheese, plain Greek yogurt, shredded part-skim mozzarella cheese, shredded reduced-fat cheddar cheese, garlic powder, and seasoned salt. Mix until well combined and creamy.
2. Assemble the Grilled Cheese:
Spread the cheese mixture evenly onto one side of each slice of protein-packed zero-carb bread loaf.
Place another slice of bread on top to create sandwiches.
3. Cook the Grilled Cheese:
Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of light butter or spread onto one side of each sandwich.
Place the sandwiches, buttered side down, onto the skillet or griddle. Cook for 3-4 minutes, or until the bottom side is golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwiches using a spatula and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the other side is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
4. Serve and Enjoy:
Remove the grilled cheese sandwiches from the skillet or griddle and transfer to a cutting board. Let them cool for a minute before slicing.
Serve your Protein-Rich Low-Calorie Ultimate Grilled Cheese sandwiches hot and enjoy the gooey, cheesy goodness!
