Tips for the best Keto Banitsa

- This is a 8-step recipe, so set up your workspace in the order the steps use it.

Variations
- Swap the egg for silken tofu — keep the cooking time similar and check for doneness.
- Spicier version: add a pinch of chilli flakes or a sliced fresh chilli with the aromatics.
- Individual portions: divide into ramekins or a muffin tin and reduce the baking time by about a third.
Serving ideas
