This Bulgarian dish is typically made with phyllo pastry and filled with cheese and eggs, but my version is low-carb and keto-friendly. Keto banitsa is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or as a snack any time of the day.
Equipment
- 1 Spatula
- 1 Oven
Ingredients
- 4 Medium Eggs
- 3 teaspoon Whole Psyllium Husk
- 3.5 oz Crème Fraiche or Yogurt
- 1/2 teaspoon Baking Powder
- 3.5 oz Feta Cheese
- 1.75 oz Cheddar Cheese
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 430°F (220°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine all the ingredients: eggs, psyllium husks, crème fraiche or yogurt, feta cheese, Cheddar cheese and baking powder. Stir thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and smooth.
- Allow the keto dough to rest for 10 to 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Next, line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the dough into a thin, even layer.
- Transfer the dough to a pizza tray or other oven proof tray. Press the dough into the bottom and sides of the dish to form a crust.
- Bake the keto bread for 12-15 minutes, or until it’s golden brown and slightly crispy around the edges.
- Let it cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm or cold, as you prefer.
Notes
- Cold savory keto snack on the go or in the office: Place it in a container or wrap it in foil and take it with you to work.
- Fancy a quick keto dessert? Why not sprinkle a little bit of a keto friendly sweetener (ideally powdered)? My mother adds a little bit of lemonade in the traditional banitsa recipe and it tastes sweet and savory and it’s so satisfying. That’s how I came up with the idea of sprinkling a bit of sweetener on top of the keto banitsa or sipping lemonade while enjoying this low carb snack.
- What about having keto banitsa to go with your keto dinner? As this gluten free banitsa tastes similar to bread, you can use it like keto bread or even keto wraps (if you spread the keto dough very thin).
