I’m a great cheese lover and before I joined Slimming World I would just cut blocks off and eat it like that – naughty! I do still enjoy it now regularly as my Healthy Extra A choice, but I don’t eat as much as I did before. When you’re not counting the calories in it, it can easily add up without you realising. I would always get low fat cheese as well but now I buy full fat and just have the lesser amount of my HEA. When you want to use your HEA for something else though, these cheese & chive potato scones give a wonderful cheese hit and are great for snacking on or to eat with some speed salad for lunches. (Some may consider it a tweak but I’ve lost weight when I’ve eaten them – it’s not like I eat them all in one go as the boys eat them too!).
Ingredients (makes 6 large ones, can divide smaller to make more bite size ones)
- 1 packet cheese & onion Smash, not made up (can use plain too)
- 300g tub low fat cheese & chive cottage cheese
- 2 medium eggs
- Fry Light
- Preheat oven to gas 6/400F/200C.
- Put all ingredients into a bowl and mix until well combined.
- Divide the mixture into 6 portions, roll into balls and place on a baking tray. Spray the tops with Fry Light.
- Cook for 20-25 minutes, until the scones are golden on the outside.
- Enjoy!
they look fab, I'm always meaning to start healthy eating then i go to the cinemas last night and eat a family pack of chocolates all to myself
Yes it's hard to get onto it sometimes!
how do you store them afterwards?? Would you put them in the fridge because you are using cottage cheese??
Hi, yes they are best stored in the fridge, I will put that in the post! Thank you
Hi Stacey are these syn free? Thank you
Hi Emma, yes they are, although they could be classed as a tweak due to using a full packet of Smash, but I don’t count it as one as I don’t eat them all at once 🙂
Hi Stacey, made them yesterday yummy!!! I added some red pepper flakes to spice up a bit and 1/2oz strong cheddar, made them so cheesy. Thank you will be sharing your page! Emma x
Ooh that sounds good! I made them recently for a taster evening with the sweet chilli and roasted red pepper cottage cheese from Asda, they went down well
