Ingredients
Scale
90 Second Bread Ingredients:
- 3 TBSP almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 TBSP butter, melted (plus extra for skillet)
- 1 egg
- Cheddar cheese and/or meats (quantity as desired)
- Seasonings (optional): taco seasoning, curry, garlic salt, etc.
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Melt the butter in a bowl. Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, and any optional seasonings. Whisk all ingredients together until smooth.
- Cook the bread: Pour the batter into a sandwich container, a bowl, or a mug. For a classic sandwich bread shape, use a square container; for an English muffin shape, use a mug. Microwave for 90 seconds to cook the bread.
- Let it cool: Remove the bread from the microwave and let it cool for about 20 seconds. This helps it set and makes handling easier.
- Slice and assemble: Cut the bread in half to create slices. Add cheddar cheese and meats of your choice between the slices. If the bread is too thin, prepare two slices and use both.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Place the assembled sandwich in the skillet and cook each side until it becomes crisp and golden brown, ensuring the cheese melts thoroughly.
Notes
- The almond flour bread is very soft right after microwaving, so toasting it in a skillet helps achieve a better texture.
- Feel free to customize with your favorite seasonings to add extra flavor to the bread.
- You can add any keto-friendly meats or vegetables to your grilled cheese for variety.
- Ensure the butter is hot before placing the sandwich in the skillet to get a nice crispy crust.
- Microwave wattage may vary; adjust cooking time slightly if the bread isn’t fully set.
