Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Almond flour
- 1 cup Tapioca flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.5 cup Coconut milk (unsweetened)
- 2 tablespoons Ghee (clarified butter)
- 3 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 1 cup Cashews (soaked and drained)
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Water
Instructions
Preheat a skillet or griddle over medium heat.
In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, tapioca flour, egg, coconut milk, and a pinch of salt. Stir until a smooth batter forms.
Spoon a ladleful of batter onto the skillet, spreading it into a flat circle to create a 'bread' slice. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side, then flip and cook an additional 2 minutes. Repeat to make 4 slices in total. Set aside.
To prepare the cheese substitute, add soaked and drained cashews, nutritional yeast, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, lemon juice, and water to a blender. Blend until smooth and creamy. Adjust the consistency with more water if needed.
Melt 1 tablespoon of ghee in the skillet. Spread the cashew 'cheese' over one slice of prepared 'bread,' then top with another slice to form a sandwich.
Cook the sandwich in the skillet for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and crisp. Repeat for the second sandwich, using the remaining ghee.
Serve warm and enjoy your Whole30-compliant, savory 'cheese' sandwich!
