How to make it keto
Crucially, ask for the Cordon Bleu to be prepared 'ohne Panade' (without breading). Request low-carb vegetable sides (e.g., green beans, broccoli, spinach, mixed green salad) instead of fries, Rösti, or rice.
Say this to the waiter (German)
Cordon Bleu, bitte. Ohne Panade zubereitet. Dazu kohlenhydratarmes Gemüse, keine Pommes, Rösti oder Reis.
Cordon Bleu, please. Prepared without breading. Serve with low-carb vegetables, no fries, Rösti, or rice.
Watch out for
The traditional breading is the main carb risk. Sugary glazes or marinades on the meat. High-carb side dishes are standard. Some hams may contain curing sugars.
