Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tbsp (14 g / 0.49 oz) almond flour
  • 1 ½ tbsp / 12 g (0.42 oz) psyllium husk powder
  • ½ tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp (28 g / 0.99 oz) butter, softened
  • 2 oz (56 g) cheddar cheese, sliced or shredded
  • 1 tbsp (14 g / 0.49 oz) butter, for frying
  • Experiment with different cheeses! A mix of Gruyère and cheddar adds a nutty, complex flavor, while Provolone offers a fantastic cheese pull.
  • Elevate your keto bread by mixing in a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese into the batter before microwaving.
  • For the best texture, let the microwave bun cool completely before slicing and frying. This helps it firm up and prevents it from becoming crumbly.
  • For an extra crispy texture, cook the batter in a mini waffle maker instead of the microwave to create two keto 'chaffles' for your sandwich.

Method
 

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and softened butter until a thick, smooth batter forms.
  2. Pour the batter into a greased, microwave-safe square container (about 4x4 inches) and microwave on high for 90 seconds. The 'bun' will be firm to the touch.
  3. Carefully remove the hot container from the microwave and let the bun cool for a minute before turning it out onto a cutting board.
  4. Slice it in half horizontally to create two 'bread' slices.
  5. Layer the cheddar cheese between the slices to assemble your sandwich.
  6. Melt the remaining tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  7. Place the sandwich in the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is perfectly melted and gooey.
  8. Serve immediately.
