Shallots: Shallots provide a mild, slightly sweet onion flavor without overpowering the dish and add antioxidants.

Parmesan Cheese: This adds bold umami flavor, allowing you to use less while still getting a rich taste.

Seasonings: Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder help to enhance flavor without added calories or carbs.

Aunt Millie’s Live Carb Smart Bread: It’s high in fiber, low in net carbs, and keeps this sandwich Weight Watchers friendly without sacrificing texture or taste.
