Dainty but power-packed tartlets of whole wheat bread are filled with a luscious mixture of mushrooms and onions in a creamy yet low-cal white sauce. This unique white sauce is thickened with whole wheat flour and cauliflower, giving the same delicious flavour and mouth-feel as the original calorie-laden version.


The other ingredients like mushroom are also very low on the calorie and carbohydrate counter but add an exciting crunch to the topping. So, go ahead and enjoy one or two of these Creamy Mushroom Tartlets as a relatively guilt-free snack occasionally!


Team it up with a bowl of Vegetable and Basil Soup or Vegetable Tortilla Soup and what you get is a satiating mini meal.
