Healthy Recipe Ideas
Whole Wheat Veggie Pizza
Spread a thin layer of tomato sauce on a whole wheat pizza base. Top with chopped bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Sprinkle a single serving (20g) of D'lecta Mozzarella Cheese. Bake at 200°C for 10-12 minutes until the crust is golden and cheese is melted.
Health Benefits
This recipe balances the cheese with fiber-rich vegetables and whole grains for a more nutritious meal.
Protein-Packed Egg and Cheese Scramble
Whisk two eggs with a splash of milk, salt, and pepper. Scramble in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Just before the eggs are fully cooked, stir in chopped spinach and half a serving (10g) of mozzarella cheese. Cook until cheese is just melted.
Health Benefits
A high-protein breakfast that combines the goodness of eggs, spinach, and a controlled portion of cheese for satiety.
Baked Cheesy Vegetable Casserole

Health Benefits
A comforting dish that incorporates a large portion of vegetables, making the cheese a flavourful topping rather than the main ingredient.
