Keto Achma (Crustless Cheese Bake)
Keto Layered Cheese Bake
Yes, with a tweak: request no pastry or dough layers. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Georgian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A keto adaptation of the traditional Achma, which is normally a layered cheese bread. This version omits the dough layers, focusing on the rich, savory baked layers of various Georgian cheeses (like Sulguni and Imeruli), eggs, and butter, creating a crustless, high-fat, and satisfying bake.
Key ingredients
Sulguni cheese, Imeruli cheese, eggs, butter, salt, black pepper.
How to make it keto
Crucially, request no pastry or dough layers. Ensure cheeses are full-fat and no hidden starches are used as binders.
Say this to the waiter (Georgian)
კეტო აჩმა აუცილებლად ცომის ფენების გარეშე მინდა. ყველი იყოს სრულცხიმიანი და უსახამებლო.
Crucially, the Keto Achma needs no pastry or dough layers. Ensure cheeses are full-fat and no hidden starches are used.
Watch out for
Traditional Achma is very high in carbs due to layers of flour dough. Restaurant versions might still use a small amount of flour as a binder or serve with bread. Confirm it is entirely crustless and flour-free.
