Why this works
Rich and energy-dense with a good protein contribution, but high in saturated fat and fairly salty due to the cream cheese and cheddar.
Protein from dairy. Greek yoghurt and cheddar provide a moderate amount of protein per serving, supporting satiety and muscle maintenance.
Calcium-rich. Cheddar and dairy ingredients contribute useful calcium for bone health.
High in saturated fat and salt. The cream cheese, mature cheddar and butter make this a more indulgent option, so portion size matters for heart health.
Method
- Preheat the oven to 190°C (Fan 170°C, 374°F, Gas Mark 5).
- Mix the Philadelphia Garlic & Herbs with the Greek yoghurt until smooth.
- Stir in half the cheddar and spread the mixture into a small baking dish lightly greased with butter.
- Sprinkle over the remaining cheddar and bake for 20-25 minutes until bubbling and golden.
- Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
