Low Carb Carbalose Ham And Cheese Pinwheels

Low Carb Carbalose Ham And Cheese PinwheelsLow Carb Carbalose Ham And Cheese PinwheelsLow Carb Carbalose Ham And Cheese PinwheelsLow Carb Carbalose Ham And Cheese Pinwheels. These pinwheels are good just plain but really shine with the addition of a pinch of Italian Dipping Oil ingredients. which are listed in the recipe.  These are easy to make, hard to stop eating, and that’s OK because they are so low carb and…they make a terrific snack for kids too. I suspect they might be better done on a sheet pan lined with a Silpat which is what I actually rolled the log on but Duh, it didn’t occur to me until after I had them in a 10″x10″ pan so I just went with the original plan so, you make that own call on that.  As I said these are very easy to make even though the ingredients list may look a little daunting so, at least give ’em a try.  If you have made either the Carbalose Bread or the Italian Parmesan Garlic Knots recipes, you will know what I am saying.

  3. 2 T Coconut Flour
  4. 2 T Golden Flaxseed Meal
  5. ½ t Salt
  6. ⅛ t Guar Gum
  7. ⅛ t Xanthan Gum
  8. ½ t Dry Italian Dipping Ingredients (Optional)
  9. ½ C +2 T Warm Water
  10. ½ T Yeast
  11. ¼ t Sugar
  12. 2 T Olive Oil
  13. 3 Drops Liquid Sucralose
  14. 1 Egg
  15. ½ Lb Very Thinly Shredded Good Quality Dry Ham
  16. 4 Oz Shredded Swiss Cheese
  17. 2 T Parmesan Cheese (Again Optional)
  18. 2 t Butter (If Using Pan)
Dry Dipping Ingredients
  1. (Optional And You Will Have Lots Leftover For Tons Of Other Recipes)
  2. 1 T Dried Basil
  3. 1 T Garlic Powder
  4. 1 T Dried Thyme
  5. 1 T Dried Oregano
  6. 1 T Dried Rosemary
  7. 1 T Dried Marjoram
  8. 1½ t Black Pepper
  9. 1½ t Salt
  10. ½ t Red Pepper Flakes
Instructions
  1. Mix all dry dipping ingredients.
  2. Add 2 T hot tap water to flaxseed meal. Set aside 10 minutes to let it thicken.
  3. Bloom yeast & sugar in remaining ½ C warm water for 10 minutes or until foamy.
  4. Put first 8 ingredients in processor and pulse to blend.
  5. Add flaxseed and pulse to blend in.
  6. Add liquid Sucralose & olive oil to top of bloomed yeast and with machine running add to processor.
  7. Run processor for at least a minute and probably a little longer adding any additional water as needed a little at a time.
  8. You want to make sure there is enough water. Dough should hold together, have a loose consistency and should not be sticky on your hands. At this point the dough should have the same look and feel of regular bread.
  9. Form into a small square, put into a small un-greased container, and cover with film for about 20 minutes. No need to double this. As you can see, it does not have much yeast or sugar to rise because you don't need them to puff up like a balloon.
  10. Preheat oven to 400°.
  11. Roll dough (on your Silpat) to completely cover.
  12. Brush 1" egg wash around perimeter of dough
  13. Put down shredded ham and cover with Swiss cheese.
  14. Roll as tightly as you can to form a log.
  15. Now, starting at the center with both hands gently "pull" log to about 20".
  16. Gently Cut into 20-1" pinwheels. If you can't get your log to 20" then cut them a little less than 1".
  17. In buttered 10"x10" pan put in 4 rows of 5.
  18. If using a Silpat do the same.
  19. Sprinkle tops with Parmesan cheese if using.
  20. Bake panned pinwheels 30 minutes and a Silpat (easiest) 25 minutes.

  22. 10 Servings
  23. 158 Calories, 12.7g Protein, 10.5g Fat, 6.1g Carbs, 3.8g Fiber, 2.3g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. If you are going to use your Silpat, move your log to a cutting board to stretch and gently cut it then put pinwheels back onto Silpat to bake.
  2. Save the rest of your egg for something else.
  3. I used 2 oz. gruyere and 2 oz. raclette cheeses mixed (both are Swiss cheeses) and that's why the cheeses look different colors.

Low Carb Carbalose Pecan Walnut Coffee Cake

Leave a reply

Low Carb Carbalose Pecan Walnut Coffee CakeLow Carb Carbalose Pecan Walnut Coffee CakeLow Carb Carbalose Pecan Walnut Coffee Cake. You may wonder why this coffee cake looks so dark and it’s because I used to use a different sweetener for most all the sugar-free sweetener. The sweetener, when wet, became darker than you think it should.  I just particularly liked the product and it’s flavor.  If you prefer, you can now use Allulose and it will not be so brown. Rest assured they taste the same. Anyway…still very easy to make and really good eats.

  6. ¼ C Barely Warmed Heavy Cream
  7. 1 Drop Liquid Sucralose***
The Cake
  1. 2 C Carbalose***
  2. 1½ t Baking Powder
  3. 1½ t Baking Soda
  4. 1 C Softened Butter
  5. ½ C Allulose***
  6. 16 Drops EZSweetz***
  7. 3 Large Eggs
  8. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  9. 1¼ C Sour Cream
  10. 1 t Butter (For Greasing Pan)
Crumb Topping
  1. Combine all the crumb ingredients in a small bowl.
  2. Mix with a fork (or, go on and get your hands into it) until the mixture resembles crumbs. Set aside.
Cream Cheese Swirl
  1. Beat the cream cheese and allulose until fluffy.
  2. Mix in the vanilla, Sucralose cinnamon and gently add the heavy cream. Stir in the pecans. Set aside.
Cake
  1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Lightly butter a 10”x10 pan.
  2. Mix the flour, baking powder, & baking soda. Set aside.
  3. With an electric mixer beat the butter, allulose and EZSweetz until fluffy. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating just until combined after each addition. Mix in the vanilla.
  4. Gradually add flour mixture ⅓ at a time alternating with sour cream and mixing just until combined.
  5. Transfer the batter (it will be thick) to the prepared pan. Top the batter with spoonfuls of the cream cheese filling and using an up and down motion with a knife or better yet, a small offset spatula, to swirl.
  6. Sprinkle the nut topping evenly over the top of the cake.
  7. Bake 50-60 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Make sure to check center as sometimes a cake look done but will fall after coming out of the oven and these do not rise too much anyway. They are very dense….and good.
  8. Also to test for doneness look at the edges of your pan and when finishing, the coffee cake will begin to pull away from the pan.

Notes
  1. When I say finely chopped nuts this is what I did. I have a small Cuisinart that runs in reverse to chop instead of grinding, so this process is very easy. Grinding makes it too fine but pulsing when on chopping works well.
  2. I would be careful trying to eat two of these as they are very high in fat. If you do attempt it just be aware you may feel awfully full unless it is all you eat and...even then...
  3. One of the things I love about low carb baking, and there are many, it that nothing is sticky and these are no different. Looks sticky but…not. Not to the pan and not to you.
  4. If you are feeling particular decadent add a teaspoon of melted butter on top as you serve them.

Low Carb Chicken Schnitzel a la Holstein

Leave a reply

Low Carb Chicken Schnitzel a la HolsteinLow Carb Chicken Schnitzel a la HolsteinLow Carb Chicken Schnitzel a la Holstein. Whew doggie is this ever easy assuming you have Pork Dust Rind Breadcrumbs, eggs, capers, and salt & pepper. I used thigh meat because I much prefer it to drier white meat although, the pork rinds keep just about anything quite moist. I fry most (no, not all) of my foods in duck fat which I did here but olive oil works just great and I know most of you will use olive oil anyway.  When I need more duck fat I just buy a fat-rat duck, get 2 cups of fat and…have duck dinner for two.  For me, the taste of duck fat is incomparable. I had most of the fat left in the pan so I spooned it around the chicken thigh but if you are not into fat the way I am then please, leave it in the pan. A lot of that fat went into the eggplant served with it and it made it terrific too.

Low Carb Bordelaise Sauce

Low Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise SauceLow Carb Bordelaise Sauce. You’re going to look at the ingredients in this recipe and think to yourself, Deborah has seriously flipped her lid on this one.  Heavy cream & white wine DO NOT a dark gravy make, because those in the know, know that a Bordelaise is made with a red wine and beef stock.  But um, as you can see this is not a truism set in stone.  Look at the picture carefully because that gravy is as dark as anything you could want.  The secret is…the paprika.  Now you say, will that would make it red but nope it doesn’t, it makes it brown.  One can only hope the pictures say it all.  A small filet mignon which is the steak under the sauce is normally used but any good quality steak cut will serve you well.  If you think this sounds good you might try it on a Chicken Fried Steak because yes, it is that good.

Keto Icelandic Cod Fillets

2 Replies

Keto Icelandic Cod FilletsLow Carb Icelandic Cod FilletsKeto Icelandic Cod Fillets.  Whew, you would think I might be a little embarrassed by putting up this recipe, but I am not.  It is so ridiculously easy, let alone good, that I couldn’t help myself.  I was originally going to use Pili Nuts as my topping and I will at some point but while I was making it, I decided to use pork rind dust and never looked back.  I had it the first week and it was so good I got another piece of it yesterday and just had it again today. I don’t know if you use or eat pili nuts or not as they are not only the best nut health-wise for you, they are very expensive too. I don’t eat them so often but I do every once in a while toast some and eat them.

The reason I say I’m embarrassed by the post is the ease of this keto Icelandic cod fillets. I guess everybody and their brother uses and makes this although maybe not with pork dust or pili nuts.  Awhile ago I bit the dust and ordered Duke’s Mayo and have never looked back.  As I know it, Duke’s is the only sugar-free mayonnaise made, yes with seed oil, and with that said, it is also the best tasting mayo ever.  I do have to order it from the company in South Carolina, but as I said, it is well worth it.  If you live in the South then you can buy it anywhere.  This Low Carb Icelandic Cod Fillets recipe is for one of those days when you are bone-dog tired and want dinner on the table in less than 30 minutes.  So easy even a caveman could make it and no wonder it is such a popular dish.

In case you’re wondering that gorgeous spinach veggie on the plate with the cod? is called Spinach Bhaji which is also a new recipe.

  1. 6-8 Oz Room Temp. Cod Per Person (I Used An 8 Oz Piece)
  2. 1½ T Room Temp. Butter
  3. 1½- 2 T Mayo
  4. 2 T Pork Rind Dust***
  5. Salt & Pepper
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350°
  2. Spread butter on the bottom of baking dish.
  3. Place fish on butter and add salt & pepper.
  4. Spread mayo over fish.
  5. Sprinkle with pork dust.
  6. Bake 8-10 minutes and put under broiler until pork dust gets really crispy.

  8. 433 Calories, 9.1g Protein, 46.3g Fat, 0.0g Carbs, 0.0g Fiber, 0.0g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. One of the nicer things about this fish is its tendency to release a bit of liquid which when mixed with the butter & mayo makes it quite moist while continuing to eat it.
  2. If you end up with the flatter portions of the tail of the cod they tend to overcook.
  3. I did get the large ends both times but the second time I ask for a flatter large end. The first time I made it, as soon as I put it under the broiler my mayo slide off so the second time I ask for a flatter large end and had pretty good success.
  4. If you add 1 T lemon juice it will add 1g carb or...and I do...add it.

Keto Ginger Cheesecake Tarts

Leave a reply

Low Carb Ginger Cheesecake TartLow Carb Ginger Cheesecake TartLow Carb Ginger Cheesecake TartLow Carb Ginger Cheesecake TartKeto Ginger Cheesecake Tarts.  Not long ago I published a recipe for Giant Ginger Cookies and quickly realized I could probably do a couple more based on the cookies and this is the first one that popped into my mind.  Since the cookie recipe make 15 very large ones, and they are crispy, why not make a kind of graham cracker crumb and use it as the crust base for a cheesecake.  Well, it worked really well and I am here to tell you they are deliciously sinful.  If you do not have the same 4½” tart pans I do then of course a larger pan will work beautifully and just not quite as easy to deal with since the filling only uses 8 oz. cream cheese.  These keto ginger cheesecake tarts are extremely dense and very filling, especially after a dinner.  Nutritionals include the ginger cookies crumb base and you will need a recipe of them to complete the tarts.  Take a good look in the first picture and you can see how dense the crumb is…just like a graham crumb.  Always remember that the longer you can leave it in the refrigerator, within reason, the more dense and thick the cheesecake becomes.  If you do not intend eating them in more than several days, they freeze beautifully.  The tart shells are also really good using anything that goes with the flavor of ginger like maybe a sugar-free ginger cream or whipped cream and raspberries & strawberries. If by some chance you are here and you don’t like ginger, you can always use your favorite low carb cookies for cheesecake or this dandy recipe for a thick creamy New York Cheesecake with the Two Crust Sizes For Most Nearly Any Pie recipe which is nearly identical to graham cracker crust. Yes keto ginger cheesecake tarts can also be made into a larger tart cut into 8 slices.  I just thought the smaller versions were a nice touch, especially for company and portion control.

You may question the use of ground chia seeds and it has to do the the bindability of sugar-free baked goods and it is one of the things that helps and that also includes the flax seed meal.

Ginger Cheesecake Tart
Print
4-4½” Removable Bottom Tart Pans
Crust
  1. 4 Giant Ginger Cookies Ground To Crumbs (Should Get about 1-1¼ C)
  2. ½ T Allulose
  3. ½ T Flaxseed Meal
  4. ½ T Ground Chia Seeds
  5. ⅓ C Melted Butter
Cheesecake Batter
  1. 8 Oz Cream Cheese
  2. ⅓ C Allulose
  3. ¼ C Heavy Cream
  4. 1 t Vanilla Extract
  5. 1 Egg
Sour Cream Topping
  1. ½ C Sour Cream
  2. ½ t Vanilla Extract
  3. 1 t Allulose
Instructions
  1. Mix all crust ingredients and let sit for 10-15 minutes then gently pat ¼ of the crumbs into each tart pan making sure to push up as high as you can to cover the sides the of the pan. The finished tart will pop out very easily if after you fill them carefully with the batter, it is all kept inside the shell. (I could have pushed my cookies filling up into the top of the tart tin a little further).
  2. Bake at 340° for 9-10 minutes, remove to counter to fill and turn down heat to 300°
  3. Meanwhile with cream cheese at room temperature beat with Just Like Sugar beating until well incorporated & scraping down a couple of times to get it mixed to smooth..
  4. Add vanilla and heavy cream and incorporate, again scraping down well.
  5. Now add egg and on low barely mix into batter until just incorporated and stop scraping to smooth. At this point you don’t want any more beating because it creates bubbles which are a no-no.
  6. Add ¼ of the batter to each shell and bake 23-24 minutes.
  7. Put on cooling rack in for at least an hour until completely, completely cool.
  8. Turn oven to 400°.
  9. Mix all topping ingredients.
  10. If you have a small offset spatula this is a time to use it. If you don’t have one then use the back of a small spoon.
  11. Take ¼ or about 2 T of the topping and put into the center of a cooled tart and spread it only to the very edge, and no more trying not to get it on the crust or pan.
  12. Pop into the oven 6 minutes and again put on cooling rack to cool, cover gently & refrigerate for at least 4 hours and more if possible as the longer they are refrigerated the thicker and more dense they become.
  13. When ready to serve, pop the tart out of the pan and quarter. Don't forget to take the removable bottom off.

Keto Asian Oyster Sauce

4 Replies

Low Carb Asian Oyster SauceLow Carb Asian Oyster SauceLow Carb Asian Oyster SauceLow Carb Asian Oyster SauceKeto Asian Oyster Sauce. There is not much to not love about almost any Asian Sauce and this keto Asian oyster sauce is no different except for one thing, it is virtually sugar-free and you will not notice any difference.  I was not going for sweet, I was going for Umami and this is it in spades. Umami sort of captures all the flavors in one.  This Asian Oyster Sauce will either go with meats, fish or vegetables and is ridiculously easy to prepare-2-3 minutes at the most but oh, the flavor.  The three pictures are all with a whole pork tenderloin, pulled pork, and Thai sausages but as I said it literally goes with just about anything.  That small amount of sauce is for 2 people but the recipe is for 4 and can easily be doubled. They say dynamite comes in small packages so don’t let the small amount of sauce fool you as it has enough flavor to practically coat the planet.  Not really, but I hope you get the idea.  I pound my tenderloins to about ¾”, saute it in a tiny amount of fat, until medium rare, slicing it on the bias and getting 8 nice medallions.

A lot of people question whether Oyster Sauce is keto and I say:  “At least for me it is and certainly in the amount used here.  Come one please, if you feel 2 t of oyster sauce (in a sauce for 4 people) with a fat content of 97% and 0.3g carbs is high then you might better be eating nothing.

I have recently found a(nother) terrific Asian market here in Portland going by the name Lily’s.  It has been owned by the same family for 35 years and it shows by the way it is being taken care of.  Everyone of the owners in interested in making sure you find what you need and in my case a lot more stuff that I didn’t even know I wanted.  I went in looking for a particular brand of oyster sauce to replace the one I have had forever and the woman took me to the oyster sauces and picked up the one I was looking for, telling me it was the best.  Interestingly, oyster sauce is used sparingly like ½-1-2 t at a time so it lasts a very long time and you will need it for this recipe. Now, if you have fish sauce and not oyster sauce then you can sub it but rest assured they are not one & the same.  If I had my choice between the two I would hands down pick oyster sauce.

I’m thinking this might make a terrific & simple coleslaw with maybe some black seeds.

Low Carb Spinach Bhaji

Leave a reply

Low Carb Spinach BhajiLow Carb Spinach BhajiLow Carb Spinach BhajiLow Carb Spinach Bhaji.  Bhaji is a vegetable East Indian concoction and can be make with all kinds of various low carb vegetables, even mixing and matching 5 or 6 different veggies but the common theme is mostly garlic, cumin and garam marsala with the additional use of curry sometimes.  I chose fresh spinach because of the ease of using it but you can also successfully use eggplant which only takes a tiny bit longer time to cook.  It is not as pretty to look at but oh boy, eggplant sure is good too. Enjoy as this is not only easy, it is also very piquant.  I served it with a mayo pork rind encrusted piece of Islandic Cod Fillet which had lots of lemon juice on it & which when mixed into the Bhaji and was divine.

Keto Pork Schnitzel

Leave a reply

Keto Pork SchnitzelKeto Pork SchnitzelKeto Pork SchnitzelKeto Pork SchnitzelKeto Pork Schnitzel. I know I have talked about using Ground Pork Rinds a LOT but It is my opinion it is one the most under-used ingredients in a Low Carb Pantry.  As low carbers we do not use bread crumbs or flour in much of any fashion but this zero carb item is an absolute must if you want to do a lot of (successfully) fried foods.  The side dish is Spaetzle which is the natural companion to making this a complete German dinner. It would also be really good with sauerkraut, German Red Cabbage or Cheesy Creamed Cabbage & Bacon. Whew, this is a seriously restaurant worthy meal.  Crispy, and moist and you will probably want more. The third picture with the pork dust breading was a different time I prepared it and notice I got a little bigger pork medallions.  Live and learn.  Keto pork schnitzel is the epitome of LCHF and what it means to eat healthy low carb high fat food and who needs bread crumbs anyway?

Pork Schnitzel
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1-1¼” Lbs Pork Loin Medallions Cut ¼”-½" Thick (You Should End Up With 8 Discs -Ask Your Butcher For Help)
  2. 2 T Mayonnaise
  3. 1¼-1½ C Ground Pork Skins*** (Dust)
  4. ¼ C White Wine
  5. ½ Lb Mushrooms
  6. 2 T Butter
  7. ¼ C Oil Of Choice (I Used Duck Fat And Any Good Oil Would Work)
  8. ⅔ C Heavy Cream
  9. ⅔ C Water
  10. 1 T + 1 t Paprika
  11. 1½ t Chicken Base
  12. ¼ t Thyme
  13. ¼ t Pepper
Instructions
  1. Pound pork medallions to about ⅛” thick.
  2. Smear pork with thin layer of mayo, dredge well in pork dust and set aside until ready to fry.
  3. Gently sauté mushrooms in butter. When finished, add wine, allow to soak a bit into the mushrooms, and set aside.
  4. Put heavy cream, water, paprika, chicken base, thyme and pepper in sauce pan and begin to slowly reduce. Add mushrooms to gravy just to heat. Remember, if you reduced your gravy a little too much just add a bit more water.
  5. In a large saucepan add oil and heat to medium high. Add medallions and fry until crispy, and turn. At this point you will probably only be able to do ½ of them so repeat for second batch. They will not take long to cook if you do them in hot enough oil.
  6. Plate medallions and divide gravy equally.
  7. 4 Servings

Notes
  1. I originally used shiitake mushrooms which were really good but they have too many carbs for me so I used buttons and then chanterelles. It is my personal opinion that the beauty of the golden chanterelles is absolutely gorgeous with the color of the sauce and is why I put them to the side to be eaten with each bite of schnitzel.

Low Carb Carbalose Giant Ginger Cookies

2 Replies

Low Carb Carbalose Giant Ginger CookiesLow Carb Carbalose Giant Ginger CookiesLow Carb Carbalose Giant Ginger Cookies. I have often wondered why it seems so difficult to get a crispy low carb cookie and now I know-it is.  This is my first attempt at making cookies with Carbalose flour so I have no basis of comparison but I know this: there is no almond flour and no coconut flour.  Don’t know for sure but this must be some kind of secret.  Anyway, these are delicious & crispy and every once in a while, crispy is good.

I have made and taken new pics on the top and is the way they should look. They say true confessions are good for the soul so here goes another one:  I did not have the right sweetener for the first pics (at the bottom now).  I had the Baking but not the Granular since I don’t use much of it and there is a difference so…use the right product for the job…but the taste-ooh la la.

Down below in the notes I said I would be testing another recipe using these cookies and it didn’t take me long to come up with these Ginger Cheesecake Tarts

 All my other Carbalose Recipes are listed at the bottom of the Carbalose Informational Page.

Giant Ginger Cookies
Print
Ingredients
  1. 2¼ C Carbalose Flour***
  2. 3 Sticks Butter
  3. 1 C Allulose*** +
  4. ⅓ C Allulose***
  5. ¼ C Molasses
  6. 1 Egg
  7. 1 T Dried Ginger
  8. ¾ t Cinnamon
  9. ½ t Dried Clove Powder
  10. ½ t Mace Or Nutmeg
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 340°
  2. With electric mixer begin to slowly cream butter. Add egg, molasses and then then slowly add Allulose until well incorporated. Mixture will be thick.
  3. In larger bowl mix all dry ingredients. Add wet to dry and with same mixer mix until completely incorporated. It will take a bit of time but it needs to be done.
  4. Use a 2” ¼ C scoop, make 15-16 2” balls and place evenly on a parchment papered cookie sheet pan. I have a sheet pan that I could fit all 15 cookies on. Generously sieve on ⅓ C Allulose and using a flat disc or glass (I used my Norpro pounder), or even your fingers, flatten the balls to about ¼".
  5. Cook no more than 10-12 minutes, leaving on sheet about 10 minutes before putting onto cooling racks.
  6. Cookies should be surprisingly nice and crispy.

Notes
  1. Based on the crumb of these cookies I'm going to make a prediction here. I think if you ground them and added enough melted butter, they would make a kick butt base for a cheesecake or anything else you needed a cookie or graham cracker base for. I will be testing this in the future but...you can test it now...if you want.

Keto Cheesy Creamed Shrimp

Leave a reply

Keto Cheesy Creamed ShrimpLow Carb Cheesy Creamed ShrimpKeto Cheesy Creamed Shrimp. It can be a lot of fun turning a recipe I wouldn’t eat in 1,000 years, into something low carb that I can pig out on and Keto Cheesy Creamed Shrimp is one such recipe.  It has more cheese in it than you can shake a stick at and in my opinion, shrimp is a terrific substitute for pasta.  As you look at the recipe, it’s really kind of a cheese fondue over shrimp.  Pretty sure you all know this but restaurants, and of course the junk-food pushers, all realize how much less expensive it is to fill you with bread, rice, potatoes and pasta, thus having to serve you lots less meat as a main course.  I have never said that low carb is inexpensive although it is what I do believe.  Over the course of a lifetime there is the old pay-me-now or pay-me-later adage.  If you eat a lifetime of healthy food you will more than likely save yourself from many of the ills (and healthcare costs) that accompany the eating of junk food and old age.

I had a small amount of 5 different cheeses and I wanted to use a couple of them up but the idea here is to use about 4 cups mixed cheeses total being sure to at least include brie.

I love and eat a lot of raclette cheese. Every once in a while I eat it for breakfast but also mixed in with other cheeses, it is heavenly.  Not only does raclette have great meltability, it stays melty even as your food begins to cool.  I know there are tons of wonderful cheeses, many of which I have tried but for everyday eating raclette (and Gruyere) are second to none.

Cheesy Creamed Shrimp
Print
Ingredients
  1. 1 Lb Shelled Shrimp Sautéed & Cut Into Bite Size Pieces. (Depending On Size I Cut Into 3-4 Chunks)
  2. 2 T Butter
  3. 2½ C Heavy Cream
  4. ⅓ C White Wine
  5. 1 t Chicken Base
  6. ¾ t Dried Thyme
  7. ¼ t Nutmeg
  8. 1½ C Gruyère Cheese Grated
  9. 1½ C Brie Cheese Chopped Finely (No Rind)
  10. 1 C Grated Cheddar Cheese
  11. (Various Cheeses To Use: Gruyère, Brie, Cheddar, Raclette, Mozzarella)
  12. ½ C Sliced Green Onion Tops (Divided) (Optional)
  13. ¼ C Parmesan Cheese (Optional)
  14. ¼ C Pork Dust (Optional)
  15. Freshly Ground Pepper
Instructions
  1. In large pan, sauté shrimp pieces quickly in butter. Set aside.
  2. Mix all cheeses. Set aside letting them come to room temperature.
  3. Add heavy cream, wine, chicken base, thyme, nutmeg, and ¼ C green onions to pan and begin to reduce slightly remembering the cheese will tighten things considerably.
  4. Remove from heat and slowly stir in cheeses until melted.
  5. Add back shrimp and mix thoroughly.
  6. Mix Parmesan cheese and pork dust.
  7. Put shrimp into appropriate size baking pan 8”x8”, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese & pork dust and broil until golden brown.
  8. Sprinkle with last of green onions and serve with lots of cracked pepper.
  9. 6 Servings
  10. 769 Calories, 32.9g Protein, 64.8g Fat, 1.6g Carbs, 0.3g Fiber, 1.3g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. So, we have now NOT eaten: 1 Lb. Pasta-339g carbs, 1½ C Breadcrumbs-117g carbs, ¼ C Flour-24g carbs, and used 2½ C Heavy Cream instead of 4 C Milk-48g carbs for a grand total of 528g carbs or 88g carbs per serving. You just traded 88 carb grams for a mere 1.3g carbs. and…look at that fat content.
  2. Just because a recipe ingredient says optional doesn't mean if you leave it out the dish will taste the same because it won't. So give it consideration when choosing to omit something that says "optional". If you don't have pork dust at least use the Parmesan cheese.
  3. I used a larger boat dish for an individual serving but since most of you will not have these any glass baking dish will work. I happen to like being able to eat this with a spoon so I don't miss any of the sauce.
  4. It's pretty difficult to "cut" brie cheese so you may have to kind of mush it with your fingers. Do use fresh brie as it tends to mold as it ages and DOES NOT taste good.

Keto Sausage Crust Pizza

Leave a reply

Keto Sausage Crust PizzaKeto Sausage Crust PizzaKeto Sausage Crust PizzaKeto Sausage Crust PizzaKeto Sausage Crust Pizza.  It’s not that I don’t have pizza once in a blue moon because I do. I have always used either Carbalose Flour Basic Pizza Crust and once with the new recipe for Carbalose Italian Parmesan Garlic Knots dough.  This keto sausage crust pizza recipe uses neither.  In the old days, when I ordered pizza with anyone else I used to fight over what the toppings would be, usually ending up with a ½ & ½ of kinda sorta what I wanted.  Don’t need to fight anymore.  I can have what I want-well not really because I like way too many toppings so I have whittled it down to my faves.  I had zero idea if this would even work but…as you can see…it did.  The really cool thing is that everyone can have their own faves because for most people (excluding maybe small children) this could be a single serving.  Yeah and I’m lying here.  I originally thought I could eat the whole thing but quickly realized it was not happening.  I had my choice of either a 7″ shallow pan or 7½” deeper cake pan and I opted for the larger for one reason-so that I could get more of my faves including lots more cheese in it.  Could I eat all of it?  Umm no, because my eyes have always been bigger than my stomach and as I have aged, none of that has changed.  Along with a small Canlis Salad & a few raspberries with Crème Fraîche, I only ate ½ of the smaller pizza so this is very easily sharable.

Something else pretty cool in the second picture.  I have always used fresh basil when making pizza.  When I went into the grocery they were out of every different kind of fresh basil except a live basil plant and so, with Anne’s encouragement at my local New Season’s Market, I bought one.  Whoa, I don’t think I will ever use freshly packaged basil again.  One of the first things I thought about was it didn’t look like enough.  Not only was it enough, I still have tons left over and my kitchen smells heavenly.

Low Carb Sausage Crust PizzaLow Carb Sausage Crust PizzaSo what’s up with the next 3 pictures?  The only thing I did was use a 12″ pizza pan with 1 Lb. of sausage and a hair more of each ingredient and got a large low carb sausage crust pizza for 4 with 8 healthy slices of this fabulous keto sausage crust pizza.

I don’t often show a BS reading after a meal but this one was too good to pass up.  My goal is to always be under 100 about 1½-2 hours after dinner so as you can see this was pretty good.  I never can seem to outdo my friend Steve Cooksey but hey Steve, this one’s for you.

No fathead pizza dough here.  I have met & spoken with Tom Naughton so no offense here Tom, but I have a gazillion recipes and this just isn’t one with your dough.

I have listed my favorite toppings which you can certainly follow or…you may use you own faves which may (or may not) alter the nutritionals much.

Sausage Crust Pizza

  8. 652 Calories, 45.9g Protein, 48.3g Fat, 6.8g Carbs, 1.5g Fiber, 5.3g Net Carbs
Notes
  1. No wonder I could only eat half of this puppy. Holy Smokes. Look at the fat & protein grams. My opinion: Only a lumberjack could eat a whole one of these.
  2. I used my local grocery sausage as it’s made with zero sugar.
  3. As you can see in the picture the crust shrinks and I did have lots of melted fat in the bottom of the pan so, you can either leave it in there or drain it, your choice.
