Bryndzová Panvica s Opekanou Slaninkou
Keto Bryndza and Bacon Skillet (No Dumplings)
Yes, with a tweak: no potato dumplings (halušky). About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Slovak food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A delicious skillet dish featuring the distinctive salty and tangy Slovak sheep cheese (bryndza) melted with crispy smoked bacon. A re-imagined keto version of a classic, omitting potato dumplings.
Key ingredients
Bryndza (sheep cheese), smoked bacon (slaninka), onion, butter or rendered bacon fat, often a touch of cream. Can be served with a side of sautéed mushrooms or greens.
How to make it keto
Crucially, no potato dumplings (halušky). Request any serving suggestion to be a low-carb vegetable (e.g., sautéed cabbage, green salad) instead of traditional carb sides. Confirm no flour or starch is used to thicken the bryndza mixture.
