Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Almond flour
- 1 tablespoon Baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 4 large Eggs
- 0.33 cup Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Pesto sauce
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.75 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
- Fresh basil leaves (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a 9x5 inch loaf pan or line it with parchment paper for easy removal.
In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
In another bowl, beat the eggs until frothy. Add olive oil and heavy cream to the eggs and continue to whisk until well combined.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined.
Stir in the pesto sauce until fully incorporated into the batter.
Fold in the grated Parmesan and shredded mozzarella cheeses.
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 the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
Allow the bread to cool in the pan for about 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
Optional: Garnish with fresh basil leaves before slicing and serving.
