Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can I use regular flour instead of almond flour?
A: Technically yes, but you’ll lose the keto vibe and add carbs that might make you sleepy. Almond flour gives that crisp snap and nutty taste. If you’re not keto, go ahead—just know it won’t have that light finish.
Q: The olive eyes—do they taste weird with brie?
A: Nope. The briny olive cuts the rich cheese like a sharp little slap. It’s a texture pop and a flavor contrast that actually works. Don’t skip ’em.
Q: Can I prep this ahead?
A: Assemble the brie with strips and olives, then refrigerate. Bake fresh when guests arrive—the crust stays crunchier. Reheating almond flour can get soggy, so avoid leftovers if you can help it.
Q: Is this really under 2 net carbs?
A: Yes, if you stick to the recipe as written. The almond flour and brie are low-carb stars. Double-check your ketchup if using—sugar-free is key. Otherwise, you’re golden.
