Grilovaný Syr
Grilled Cheese (Hermelín/Camembert Type) with Keto Sides

What it is
Grilled cheese, often a popular option similar to Camembert (Hermelín), frequently found in Slovak restaurants. The key for keto is ensuring it's grilled, not breaded and fried, and served with low-carb accompaniments.
Key ingredients
Hermelín or similar soft cheese, cooking oil (e.g., olive oil), salt, pepper, herbs.
How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for 'grilovaný syr' (grilled cheese), NOT 'vyprážaný syr' (fried cheese, which is breaded). Request a side of steamed vegetables or a green salad instead of fries or bread. Be mindful of accompanying sauces, which can be high in sugar (e.g., cranberry sauce); request plain olive oil or unsweetened dressing.
Say this to the waiter (Slovak)
Grilovaný Syr, prosím, nie vyprážaný syr. Namiesto hranoliek/chleba si prosím varenú zeleninu alebo zelený šalát. Čistý olivový olej alebo nesladený dresing.
