Made this recipe this morning. Laughing Cow Lights are 3.5 syns in the U.S. for 2 wedges and I used 1 tsp of Garlic Puree (1.5 syns). I excluded the wholegrain mustard. So 5 syns for the entire recipe, 2.5 syns per serving. It was absolutely fabulous! Thanks Britmum!
good to hear you enjoyed it

Looking forward to trying this one. Thanks :o)
If I don't have the laughing cow lights (I'm allergic) is there an alternative? Or if I just leave them out will this just reduce the syns?
Looks yummy, looking forward to trying this!
yes you can leave it out, the laughing cow's just make it creamy.
We have had this in our house a few times now, sometimes slightly varied, today I used just water rather than stock and garlic and herb philadelphia light rather than plain. What a success, particularly with the hubby who loves mushrooms. Thank you so much for the inspiration.
