"This recipe is only vegetables and goat cheese with some oil for cooking and that’s it! This is majorly low in calories and incredibly healthy but also SO DELICIOUS. I have a hard time eating, and I find this very easy to eat. "

 

• Ready In: 45mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 2

ingredients

• 11 ounces soft fresh goat cheese
• 10 ounces fresh spinach
• 1 fennel bulb, chopped add more if desired, include fronds
• 1 large onion, chopped
• salt, to taste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

directions

1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit. Add log of goat cheese to oven safe dish with measurements at least 7” x 5” x 1.5”. Put the dish with goat cheese into preheated oven to soften.
2. Cook down fresh spinach on medium to high heat, no water or oil necessary. The goal being to dry out the spinach more than you typically would in the pan. Add cooked spinach to the now softened goat cheese. Mix uniformly. Put back into the oven.
3. Add a generous amount of olive oil to pan on medium high heat along with onions and fennel. Sauté until caramelized.
4. Add caramelized onion and fennel to the goat cheese and spinach. Mix uniformly. Salt to taste, and put back into the oven for at least 30 minutes.
5. I like to broil it for 5 minutes or so following for a nice browned top. Let sit for 5 minutes then enjoy with any type of healthy crackers or bread!
