INGREDIENT NOTES:
MUSHROOMS:
- You have to use mushrooms, which will give a beefy texture and earthy taste. We can switch them out with eggplant, zucchini, or spinach.
GRUYERE CHEESE:
- We have to utilize gruyere cheese, as it will provide a deep flavor and smooth texture. You can swap it with aged cheddar, Swiss cheese, or Emmental.
COCONUT FLOUR:
- Use the coconut flour to deliver a smooth and dense structure for the dough. As an alternative, we might use extra almond flour or psyllium husk powder.
GARLIC:
- Garlic must be used because it will give this dish a richer, more fragrant flavor. Garlic powder, roasted garlic, or a pinch of asafoetida might be used in its place.
