FAKEAWAY SAUSAGE BEAN & CHEESE MELT
We all know how easy and tempting it is to fall into one of your favourite bakeries when those food cravings hit! We’ve taken a winter favourite – the Greggs Sausage Bean & Cheese Melt and created a healthier alternative – plus you can make these in batches and freeze in advance so when hunger hits, pop one out the freezer and into the oven to cook through.
We don’t advise you tuck into these every day, but as a treat, and a lower calorie, lower fat alternative to the real deal.
Our fakeaway bake contains 50% less fat and more than twice as much protein than the Greggs bake…plus our portion size is even more generous!!
So what have we switched up…
Eatlean Red – This is a great way to shave off fat and calories, whilst retaining the perfect gooey cheese melt in a recipe. Our cheese contains 90% less fat than a standard cheddar cheese…so you can pack even more in!
Low Fat Puff Pastry- Let’s face it, puff pastry is never going to be macro friendly, but opting for a lighter version helps you to shave some of the calories and fat content! Every little helps!
Chicken Italia Sausages – We chose to opt for a quality sausage in our recipe, and the Heck sausages promise just that, with exceptionally good nutritionals. A great, lean alternative!
