2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to the cheese tree, the key is to use high-quality ingredients that will bring out the best flavor.
I recommend using unsalted butter, fresh parsley, and fresh basil to give the dish a bright and herbaceous flavor.
Don’t forget to add a sprinkle of salt and black pepper to bring out the flavors.

• High-Protein Boost: Add 1/4 cup chopped cooked chicken (10g protein, 0g carbs) for an extra 10g of protein.
• Keto & Low-Carb Swap: Replace mozzarella cheese with 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese (12g protein, 1g carbs) for a lower-carb option.
• Air Fryer Option: Cook the prosciutto in the air fryer at 375°F (190°C) for 5-6 minutes, shaking halfway through, for a crispy texture.
