Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 2 tablespoons psyllium husk powder
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 cup water
- 4 slices cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons butter (for grilling)
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium-sized bowl, mix almond flour, psyllium husk powder, baking powder, and salt together.
In a separate bowl, whisk together eggs, melted butter, and water until well combined.
Combine the wet ingredients with the dry ingredients, mixing until a smooth dough forms.
Divide the dough into four equal portions and shape them into rectangular or oval bread-like shapes, about 1/2 inch thick, on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and firm to touch.
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes.
Spread butter on one side of each bread slice for grilling.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Place two bread slices, buttered side down, in the skillet. Layer two slices of cheddar cheese on each.
Top with the remaining bread slices, buttered side up.
Grill the sandwiches until the bread is crispy and the cheese has melted, about 3-4 minutes per side.
Remove from skillet, let it cool for a minute, and serve hot.
