Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 slices Low-carb bread
- 3 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.125 teaspoon Sea salt
- 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
Start by spreading a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each slice of low-carb bread. This will add a nice tangy flavor to your grilled cheese.
Place the sharp cheddar cheese between the mustard-dressed sides of the bread. Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for consistent melting.
In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted butter, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.
Spread the butter mixture evenly on the outside of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a flavorful and crispy crust.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow it to reach a good cooking temperature for about 2 minutes.
Place the sandwich into the skillet with the buttered side facing down. Press gently using a spatula to ensure even cooking.
Cook the sandwich on one side for about 4-5 minutes or until the bread becomes golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the sandwich to the other side using a spatula and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.
Once done, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it rest for 1 minute before slicing in half for serving.
Serve the low-carb grilled cheese sandwich warm, and enjoy it on its own or with a side salad for a complete low-carb meal.
