Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons Almond flour
- 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 Ham slices
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Chives, chopped
Instructions
In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
Add the egg and melted butter to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.
Microwave the mixture on high for about 90 seconds, or until the bread is firm and cooked through. Let it cool for a minute, then remove from the mug and slice in half to create two toast pieces.
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place the slices of bread in the skillet and lightly toast them on each side for about a minute until golden brown.
Remove the bread from the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Place the ham slices in the skillet to warm through for about 30 seconds per side.
Lay the toasted bread slices on a plate. Place the warm ham slices on top of each bread piece.
Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the ham.
Return the stacked breads to the skillet, cover, and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts.
Transfer to a serving plate, season with black pepper, and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
