READY TO TRANSFORM YOUR LOW CARB SOURDOUGH DISCARD INTO SAVOURY DELIGHTS?

Chef’s Notes:

This recipe builds on your Low Carb High Protein Sourdough Discard Recipe, taking those foundations to create something special.

Flavour Customization:

• For a lower-fat option that doesn’t sacrifice taste, use just ½ cup of extra-sharp aged cheddar instead of the full cup called for in the original recipe. The intense flavor means you can use less while maintaining that rich, cheesy profile.
• Feel free to swap red Thai chili peppers with jalapeños if you prefer a different heat profile or have those more readily available.
