Cheesy mushroom and broccoli traybake

This recipe had me at cheesy….

It’s rare to get a cheese based recipe that comes in this low in calories, so it had to be added to the Be Strong recipe section.  The trick is the cheese is paired with lots of low calorie ingredients like mushrooms and vegetables, and a strong flavoured cheese is used to really bring the flavour without the calories.

This will make a great meal in itself, or you could serve with a slice of garlic bread, or a small portion of pasta, if you wanted to get some extra carbs in, just add the calories.  Or if you have the calories, you could also have it with some lean grilled meats.
