2. Interactive Ingredients Checklist & Keto / High-Protein Swaps
When it comes to the ingredients, I like to use a mix of mushrooms for added texture and flavor.
The brandy adds a depth of flavor that’s hard to resist, but you can substitute it with a sugar-free alternative if you prefer.
Don’t forget to use high-quality ingredients, like unsalted butter and fresh thyme.
