INGREDIENT NOTES AND THEIR KETO SUBSTITUTIONS:
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- Using mozzarella cheese will form a flexible texture and give mild flavors. Switch it out with Monterey Jack, Gouda, or provolone.
MUSHROOMS:
- We must utilize mushrooms, which will give it a flavor of umami & a beefy texture. As an alternative, you can use grilled zucchini slices, diced eggplant, or chopped bell peppers.
SPINACH:
- You can use spinach, as it will deliver an earthy taste and fiber content. As a replacement, we can use arugula, kale, or Swiss chard.
HEAVY CREAM:
- We utilize heavy cream, which will help in forming a silky and rich sauce texture. You can alternate it with unsweetened almond milk or coconut cream.
ZUCCHINI:
- Zucchini delivers a mild flavor and structure to this vegetable delight. We can replace it with cabbage leaves, eggplant slices, or thinly sliced cucumber.
