A delicious vegetarian Keto recipe
I actually tried filming this once and dropped the idea half way through the shoot but I enjoyed it as dinner the same day and figured I just got to make it for you guys. So please enjoy this Keto Eggplant Involtini. It’s a delicious creation and even though it’s similar to Eggplant Parmesan it’s quite something on it’s own. The ricotta cheese with the fresh herbs, it’s awesome! Anyway enjoy the recipe.
You put the egg in the eggplant
I stuffed the eggplant with ricotta cheese and herbs and I added an egg yolk for some extra richness which my Indian ‘pure-veg’ friends can skip and of course if you don’t have access to ricotta cheese I would recommend paneer or queso fresco or even cottage cheese. You can pretty much throw in whatever you like, some chopped bacon perhaps, maybe some ham or even shredded chicken if you can’t do without your meat. For the tomato sauce I would recommend using HK’s Keto marinara sauce and if you love Italian dishes try our Keto chicken Parmesan recipe or even the Keto eggplant Parmesan (for my vegetarian friends). Enjoy!
