2 egg yolks

2 scoops K Nutri Collagen Peptides

8oz225g shredded mozzarella cheese

¼ cup shredded parmesan cheese

METHOD

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F/200°C/Gas Mark 6. Grease a 9½-inch square baking dish with butter and set aside.

2. Fill a large pot with water, add ½ teaspoon salt, and bring to a boil over a medium high heat. Add the cauliflower rice and cook for about 2-3 minutes then drain and transfer to a large bowl. Stir in the spinach, scallions, and salmon; season to taste, and transfer to the prepared baking dish, spreading evenly.

3. Combine butter, milk, heavy cream, and bay leaf in a large saucepan and bring to a boil over a medium-high heat. Whisk the egg yolks in a small bowl and slowly add a ladle of the hot milk mixture, stirring continuously. Lower the heat to medium-low and, whisking, pour the egg yolks into the milk mixture. Turn off the heat and discard the bay leaf. 

4. Stir in the K Nutri Collagen Peptides and mozzarella cheese until the cheese has melted and pour over the salmon and cauliflower rice mixture. Smooth the top, sprinkle with parmesan and cayenne and bake for 15-18 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown.

5. Serve warm and enjoy!
