INGREDIENTS NOTES:
EGGS:
- Eggs are the foundation of this meal, eggs are low in carbs & high in protein and healthy fats. We can use large & fresh eggs for the best flavor & texture.
HAM:
- We have to select leftover ham or cooked deli ham. We should have to avoid the non-keto ham with the additional sugar and preservatives containing ham. You can also include honey or smoked ham, but be wary of added sweets for added flavor.
MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- We use the mozzarella Cheese as the smooth melting of freshly shredded mozzarella gives food a creamy feel. You can also use various low-carb kinds of cheese, such as provolone, Swiss, or cheddar in place of mozzarella cheese.
HEAVY CREAM:
- We have to use the full-fat heavy cream. A tablespoon of heavy cream adds extra fluff and tenderness to the pancake, but it can be left out for a lighter version.
BUTTER & OLIVE OIL:
- We can use the butter and olive oil in the cooking and they provide the healthy fats that add richness and help keep food from sticking.
FRESH HERBS:
- Add herbs like oregano or chives for additional scent, but basic salt and pepper work well to bring out the taste.
