Mushroom Rarebit (Keto-Modified)
Rich Cheese Sauce with Sautéed Mushrooms
Yes, with a tweak: ensure no flour or beer is used as a thickener in the cheese sauce. About 9g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for English food, so watch the portion.
What it is

Key ingredients
Cheddar cheese, Gruyere cheese, butter, heavy cream, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cayenne pepper, pan-fried mixed mushrooms (e.g., button, chestnut, shiitake), garlic, herbs.
How to make it keto
Ensure no flour or beer is used as a thickener in the cheese sauce. Served without traditional toast. Confirm Worcestershire sauce is sugar-free or very low carb (often contains a little sugar).
Watch out for
Hidden sugars in Worcestershire sauce, potential use of flour/beer as thickener in rarebit sauce, natural carbs from mushrooms.
