Lobster Thermidor
Lobster Thermidor (Keto Modified, No Flour)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request no flour or cornstarch as a thickener in the sauce. About 10g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for American food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A luxurious dish featuring succulent lobster meat removed from its shell, mixed with a rich, creamy sauce made from heavy cream, cheese, egg yolks, and sometimes a splash of brandy or sherry. The keto modification ensures no flour or cornstarch is used for thickening, and it's returned to the lobster shell for baking until golden.
Key ingredients
Whole lobster, heavy cream, Gruyere or Parmesan cheese, egg yolks, butter, brandy or sherry (optional, small amount), Dijon mustard, salt, white pepper.
How to make it keto
