Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 tablespoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 5 large eggs
- 4 ounces cream cheese
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter
- 0.5 cup pesto
- 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a loaf pan with butter or a non-stick spray.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt cream cheese and butter together, stirring every 30 seconds until smooth.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs until they double in volume and become frothy.
Slowly mix the melted butter and cream cheese mixture into the beaten eggs.
Add the pesto to the egg mixture and mix thoroughly.
Gradually stir in the dry ingredients until the batter is smooth and well incorporated.
Gently fold in the grated Parmesan cheese until evenly distributed.
Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Let the bread cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Slice and serve. This bread can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
