What it is
A rich, melted cheese and butter dish from the Black Sea region, traditionally made with cornmeal. The keto-modified version omits cornmeal, focusing on the high-fat cheese and generous butter, achieving a similar creamy, stretchy texture. Served hot, often for breakfast or as a substantial appetizer.
Key ingredients
Trabzon cheese (or similar unsalted, mild, melting cheese), unsalted butter, water (or heavy cream), salt.
How to make it keto
Ensure no cornmeal is used. Confirm no added flour or starches. Some traditional recipes might use a tiny amount of flour for better emulsification; confirm its omission or replacement with a keto alternative.
Watch out for
Hidden cornmeal or flour. Some cheeses may have minor carb content. Always confirm preparation with staff.
