MOZZARELLA CHEESE:
- It helps to combine the filling, it melts nicely, and maintains a low-carb count. You can use provolone or Monterey Jack, which works well,
SPINACH:
- It gives a color and adds nutrients. You can use fresh spinach, which works well. Use frozen spinach, but squeeze it dry and completely defrost it first.
HEAVY CREAM:
- The cream maintains the pie’s softness and delivers richness. Use high-fat coconut cream for a non-dairy keto version.
EGGS:
- It gives protein and helps to combine all the ingredients. We recommend using big eggs. There is no real keto replacement for eggs in this recipe.
PARMESAN CHEESE:
- It adds a strong flavor to the pie. You can utilize Romano cheese or Asiago instead.
MUSHROOMS:
- This ingredient provides texture and umami flavor. Utilize cremini or button mushrooms, which work well. For the best replacement, use a portobello.
