Nutritional values

The piquantly seasoned and baked cheese makes a wonderful, protein-rich, low-calorie dinner. If you want to consume more carbohydrates or serve this dish for lunch, a little flatbread is just the thing. One portion contains a fifth of the daily requirement of calcium.

With a side salad of diced cucumbers, tomatoes, and red onion rings, served with a red wine vinegar-olive oil dressing, you bring in additional, valuable fiber.
