Calories: 449kcal
Equipment
- Microwave-safe bowl or ramekin
Ingredients
Bread:
- 1 tablespoon almond flour
- 1 tablespoon coconut flour
- 1 teaspoon psyllium husk powder
- ½ teaspoon baking powder, use gluten-free baking powder for a gluten-free option
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of sweetener, I use Sukrin
- 1 tablespoon cream cheese, room temperature
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
- 1 medium egg, room temperature
- 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
Filling:
- 2 thin slices mozzarella cheese
- 2 thin slices gouda cheese
- Freshly ground black pepper
Other:
- Butter for greasing
Instructions
Bread:
- Combine all dry ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl or ramekin so no clumps remain.
- Melt the butter in a small microwave-safe mixing bowl and let it cool down a little. Add the egg, cream cheese, apple cider vinegar, and mix well.
- Add the wet mixture to dry, mix it all together, and microwave for about 1.5-2 minutes on high until firm.
- Let the bread cool for a little bit before you take it out of the microwave-safe bowl or ramekin, then slice it in half.
Assembling the sandwich:
- Heat a little bit of butter in a skillet over a medium-high heat and fry the two slices of bread on one side.
- When the bread turns golden brown, flip only one piece of bread, place your cheese of choice on top of it and season with freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Using a spatula, lift the second piece and place it on top of the cheese, browned-side down. Cook your sandwich until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted.
- Serve warm!
