Low Carb Ricotta and Prosciutto Tarts
Creamy, herby and salty – what's not to love about these yummy little low carb morsels? Beware: you will likely want to eat the whole tray! These make a great alternative to a high carb quiche, and they would also be perfect for any gluten free or egg free guests.
