Swaps

Gouda → Alpine cheese (such as Gruyère; usually a little stronger in flavour, similar protein content). Turkey breast → chicken breast (lean, with plenty of protein). Almond flour → hazelnut flour (also provides fibre and unsaturated fatty acids). Coconut oil → ghee (heat-stable; contains milk).

Allergens

Contains egg, milk and almonds (tree nuts). Generally suitable for children if baked through and served in suitable pieces; in pregnancy, only eat with fully cooked turkey breast and well-cooked egg.
