WHITE MUSHROOMS:

OLIVE OIL:

BACON:

• We use the thick-cut bacon adds a smoky taste and a meatier texture. We can cook until crispyfor the greatest crunch.

SPINACH:

• We use the fresh spinach because it wilts down rapidly; but we can also use the frozen spinach as well.

GARLIC:

• We use the fresh minced garlic that adds depth and aroma.

FONTINA CHEESE:

• Fontina cheese melts well and is mild and creamy. We can also use the Gruyère or mozzarella as a substitute.

CREAM CHEESE:

• Full-fat cream cheese is ideal for keto because it softens and makes the filling creamy.

SALT AND PEPPER:

• We can season the dish with salt and pepper, but use less salt because cheese and bacon are already salty.
