Ingredients
  

  • For the 90-Second Bread
  • 3.5 oz (100 g) 2 large eggs /
  • 2 tbsp (0.5 oz / 14 g) almond flour /
  • 1.5 tbsp (0.5 oz / 15 g) psyllium husk powder /
  • 2 tbsp (1.0 oz / 28 g) salted butter, softened /
  • 0.5 tsp (0.1 oz / 2 g) baking powder /
  • For the Sandwich
  • 1.5 oz cheddar cheese / 42 g, sliced
  • 1 tbsp (0.5 oz / 14 g) butter /, for frying
  • Use a Square Container: For a classic sandwich shape, microwave the dough in a square 4x4-inch glass container.
  • Watch the Heat: Almond flour bread toasts quickly. Fry your sandwich on medium-low heat to ensure the cheese melts before the outside burns.
  • Banish the Eggy Taste: Add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the dough mixture to complement the savory cheese and mask any eggy flavor.

Method
 

  1. In a microwave-safe bowl or 4x4 container, combine the softened butter, almond flour, psyllium husk powder, and baking powder.
  2. Stir until a thick dough forms.
  3. Crack in the eggs and mix thoroughly until the batter is smooth and fully combined.
  4. Microwave on high for 90-100 seconds. The bread will puff up and cook through.
  5. Let the bread cool in the container for 2 minutes, then turn it out onto a cutting board.
  6. Slice it horizontally to create two slices.
  7. Place your cheese slices between the two halves of the bread to assemble the sandwich.
  8. Melt the remaining 1 tbsp (15 ml) of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  9. Fry the sandwich for 2-3 minutes per side, until the bread is golden brown and crispy, and the cheese is perfectly melted and gooey.
  10. Remove from the pan, serve immediately, and enjoy!
  11. Cool Before Slicing: Let the bread rest for at least 2 minutes after microwaving. Slicing it while hot can cause it to crumble.
