Cykoria z Szynką Zapiekana w Sosie Śmietanowym (Keto)
Baked Endive with Ham in Cream Sauce (Keto)
Yes, with a tweak: specify no flour or starch for thickening the cream sauce. About 8g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Polish food, so watch the portion.
What it is
Tender endive spears, often blanched, are wrapped in slices of savory smoked ham and baked in a rich, creamy sauce, typically topped with melted cheese. This hearty dish offers a delightful balance of slightly bitter endive, salty ham, and a decadent, low-carb cream sauce.
Key ingredients
Endive (cykoria), smoked ham (szynka wędzona), heavy cream, cheese (e.g., Gouda, Emmental), butter, salt, black pepper, a pinch of nutmeg.
How to make it keto
Specify no flour or starch for thickening the cream sauce. Confirm the ham is sugar-free. Request extra cheese on top for added fat and flavor.
Say this to the waiter (Polish)
Proszę, aby sos śmietanowy był bez mąki/skrobi, a szynka bez cukru. Poproszę o dodatkowy ser na wierzchu.
Please ensure no flour or starch for the cream sauce, and the ham is sugar-free. May I have extra cheese on top?
Watch out for
Flour/starch in the cream sauce, hidden sugars in some processed ham, and often served with potato sides or bread (must be omitted).
