Ingredients
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup (25g/0.9oz) almond flour
- ½ tsp gluten-free baking powder
- 1 tbsp light olive oil (or extra (15ml) virgin olive oil)
- pinch of sea salt
Filling
- 1 (28g/1oz) slice cheddar cheese
- 1 (28g/1oz) slice swiss cheese
Instructions
- Place all of the bread ingredients into a small bowl and mix well.
- Grease a ramekin, or like me find a bread-shaped storage container. Pour the mixture into the container and shake to distribute evenly.
- Microwave on high for 90 seconds. Turn out and cool on a rack. Note: If you don’t have a microwave, you can use the oven. Preheat to 175°C/ 350°F and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.
- When cool, cut in half and spread with butter, if desired. Place the cheese slices in the middle and toast for approx. 5 minutes(or try any of our suggested variations).
- Eat with gusto. Store, wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
Notes
- Filling variations(use instead of the above filling):
- 2 tbsp red eye bacon jam, 2-3 slices brie cheese and handful of spinach
- 3-4oz cooked chicken, ¼ sliced avocado, 1-2 slices Jarlsburg cheese
- 1-2 slices Pastrami, 3-4 slices Provolone cheese and 2 slices red onion
