What it is

Key ingredients
Hearts of palm, chicken breast (or shrimp), onions, garlic, heavy cream, cream cheese, Parmesan cheese, cauliflower, eggs, butter, olive oil, salt, black pepper, nutmeg.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or starches are used in the filling. The crust is replaced entirely with a cheesy cauliflower mash.
Watch out for
Small carbs from heart of palm and vegetables. Hidden starches in pre-packaged heart of palm (less common, but possible).
