Delicious Low Carb, Ketogenic Three Cheese Pie
How great is cheese, and it’s an ideal food for Ketogenic Diets! We’ve brought together 3 great cheeses to create our delicious Ketogenic Three Cheese Pie.
Feta, Ricotta and Gruyere are a complementary combination of cheeses in this tasty pie. Using fresh ricotta cheese is key in creating a smooth and creamy texture, some processed ricotta cheeses are grainy and just unpleasant to eat.
For anyone who hasn’t come across Danish Feta Cheese, or Danish White Cheese, it is made from cow’s milk and the cheese is milder, softer and creamier than Greek Feta Cheese (some say it’s not a “real” feta cheese and the EU has ruled that Feta made outside of Greece, and not using traditional ingredients, cannot be called feta). Greek Feta Cheese is traditionally 70% sheep’s milk and 30% goat milk, with a very dry and crumbly texture. For a creamier pie, Danish Feta Cheese is well worth finding!
This pie is great eaten straight from the oven. To reheat leftovers, we recommend putting your piece of pie into a 160C/320F oven for 10 minutes.
This recipe makes 10 serves.
