Keto Sirnica
Bosnian Cheese Pie with Low-Carb Crust
Yes, with a tweak: specifically request a pie made with a low-carb crust alternative (e.g., fathead dough or a similar cheese/egg/flour blend) instead of traditional phyllo. About 12g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Bosnian/Herzegovinian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto-friendly interpretation of the beloved Bosnian cheese pie. The traditional phyllo dough is replaced with a low-carb alternative, encasing a creamy and tangy filling made from a blend of local cheeses (often cottage cheese, feta, or a mild white cheese) and eggs. Baked until the crust is crisp and the filling is set, offering a rich, savory experience.
Key ingredients
Local white cheeses (cottage cheese, feta), eggs, sour cream, butter, almond flour/coconut flour/mozzarella for low-carb crust.
