Spaghetti Squash Waffle Grilled Cheese

April 12, 2017 by Charlotte Martin, RDN, LDN, CPT |

Spaghetti Squash Waffle Grilled Cheese

Grilled cheese sandwiches are among the top comfort foods in America and for good reason! How can you go wrong with warm, crispy bread and ooey-gooey cheese?! Unfortunately, these qualities that make grilled cheese so comforting and delicious also make it high in calories, fat, and carbohydrates. Luckily, you can easily make a lightened-up version by swapping in a veggie-based “bread” and stuffing it with reduced-fat cheese, like what we did with this Spaghetti Squash Waffle Grilled Cheese recipe!

Spaghetti Squash Waffle Grilled Cheese

Yield: 2 servings

Per serving: 1 lean | 3 green | 3 condiments

Ingredients

  • 3 cups cooked spaghetti squash
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/8 tsp salt
  • Cooking spray
  • 1 cup reduced-fat, shredded pepper jack cheese

Directions

  1. Place cooked spaghetti squash (in two batches) into a cheesecloth or clean, thin dish towel, and squeeze out as much liquid as possible.
  2. In a medium-sized bowl, combine spaghetti squash, eggs, parmesan, and salt, and mix until well-combined.
  3. Preheat a waffle iron to medium-high heat. Spread mixture in an even layer in greased waffle iron, and cook until golden brown and set about 10 minutes.
  4. Sprinkle pepper jack cheese onto one-half of spaghetti squash waffle, and fold over other half on top. Close waffle iron gently and continue cooking until cheese is melted to your liking. Serve immediately!
