INGREDIENT NOTES:

CAULIFLOWER & BROCCOLI:

  • We use cauliflower and broccoli because they offer a robust, low-carb basis. As an alternative, use Brussels sprouts or cabbage.

ZUCCHINI:

  • We use zucchini because it gives the bake moisture and suppleness. Alternatively, you might use asparagus or eggplant in its place.

HEAVY CREAM:

  • A thick, silky sauce is achieved by using heavy cream. You might utilize coconut cream in its place.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

  • We use mozzarella cheese because it produces a topping that is elastic and melty. You could substitute provolone or cheddar.

CREAM CHEESE:

  • Thickness and a smooth, creamy texture are provided by cream cheese. You can replace it with full-fat ricotta or mascarpone.

PARMESAN CHEESE:

  • A savory and strong flavor is added with Parmesan cheese. You can also use Pecorino Romano.

OLIVE OIL:

  • Olive oil improves flavor and provides good fats. Using butter or avocado oil is an additional choice.
