Uses for Eatlean protein cheese (very low fat cheese)?

[Proudownerofplants]

I have made a good start on a much needed diet but since I missed cheese like mad I bought 3 packs of Eatlean Red Protein Cheese (i think it was the min you could buy online and no shops seem to sell it). Well, it is funny stuff! I wasnt expecting it to be indistinguishable from normal cheese as it's only 3% fat but it is rubbery and tough and doesn't taste of a huge amount. I have tried melting it and it doesn't really bring much to the party except for presentation.

However, I don't like to waste food and it wasn't cheap so has anyone tried it and found a good use for it? Any veggie recipes perhaps?

Is it like solid cottage cheese? You might have more luck with this question in the low carb section tbh

I'd eat it in slices as a snack, maybe add ham? Or chop it in a salad?

Can you cut it into slabs and grill it like halloumi?

Well it's much more dense than cottage cheese (possibly made that way though), possibly as dense as a parmesan type cheese but kind of chewier. Yeah, could work in a salad, possibly grated more finely than normal. Do I just report the thread for mumsnet to move it?

Get some of that lo-dough and make a nasty pizza

In for a penny, I suppose, Fannia !

Xiaoxiong I had a go but it will only heat up enough to melt then goes weirdly crisp and burnt tasting if that makes sense.

Cat litter
Awful stuff

Could you add it with normal cheese to bulk out cheese sauce but make it less "full fat"

It's pretty awful. The only thing I found it good for was to add a sort of cheesy ish taste and texture to dishes like macaroni and cheese - I found a great low fat recipe using cottage cheese and that stuff. It was actually quite nice. You can also mix it with 'normal' cheese to reduce the calorie/fat that way

That sounds good, foamrolling will try and find a recipe

Follow their Instagram, lots of good ideas

Hahaha I'm sorry to say I feel a bit queasy looking at some of the recipes!

Bit like when Monica used Mocklate

Smoked protein cheese flavoured cheeseburger. Yummy

Low carbers tend to eat high fat. Not weird muck like this.
