Greek Yogurt – Greek yogurt is thicker than traditional yogurt but with the same familiar tang. This sharp tanginess is what makes it so great in the boats; it adds a pleasant zestiness to round out the dish. In a pinch sour cream makes a suitable substitute for this delicious probiotic dairy.

Mozzarella and Parmesan Cheese – A little extra cheese never hurts so this dish is finished with an extra dose of melty mozzarella and aged parmesan. It’s a delicious way to add even more delicious calcium-rich flavor to this tasty plate!

  • Enjoy the boats after resting while they’re warm. Pair them with green beans, sauteed greens, or low-carb rice.
  • Leftovers of these tasty boats can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat the leftovers in the microwave, air fryer, or oven.
