Ingredients
Scale
90 Second Bread Ingredients
- 3 TBSP almond flour
- 1/2 tsp baking powder
- 2 TBSP butter, melted
- 1 egg
- Seasonings optional: taco seasoning, curry powder, garlic salt, etc.
Filling
- Cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded
- Meats (optional, e.g. bacon, ham, or deli cuts)
- Butter for skillet cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the batter: Melt butter in a bowl. Add almond flour, egg, baking powder, and any optional seasonings, then whisk the mixture until fully combined.
- Microwave the bread: Pour the batter into a sandwich container, mug, or small bowl depending on your desired bread shape. Microwave on high for 90 seconds until cooked.
- Cool and slice: Remove from microwave and let the bread cool for 20 seconds. Then cut the bread in half to create two slices. For thicker bread, make two separate slices.
- Assemble the sandwich: Place cheddar cheese and optional meat between the two bread slices.
- Grill the sandwich: Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the assembled sandwich on each side until the bread turns crisp and golden brown, and the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes per side.
Notes
- You can customize the bread with your favorite seasonings to add different flavor profiles.
- The bread is very soft right after microwaving, so toasting it in the skillet gives it the perfect grilled cheese texture.
- Use full-fat cheddar or other cheeses to keep the sandwich keto-friendly.
- For extra crispiness, use more butter or ghee when grilling.
- This sandwich is best served immediately for the best texture and flavor.
