¾ cup almond flour
1 egg
½ teaspoon baking powder
Pinch of salt

For the Sandwich

2 slices keto bread (from above)
2–3 slices cheddar cheese
1 tablespoon butter
Optional: slice of tomato or cooked bacon

Kitchen Tools Needed

Non-stick skillet or frying pan
Microwave-safe bowl
Spatula
Parchment paper
Rolling pin (optional)

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Make the Keto Bread

Add the mozzarella and cream cheese to a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave for about 30–40 seconds until the cheese melts.

Stir the mixture until smooth and combined.

Add the almond flour, egg, baking powder, and salt. Mix until a soft dough forms.

Place the dough between two pieces of parchment paper and roll it out into a thin rectangle about ¼ inch thick.

Cut the dough into two bread-sized squares.

Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10–12 minutes until lightly golden. Let cool slightly.

Step 2: Assemble the Sandwich

Place cheddar cheese slices between the two pieces of keto bread.

You can also add optional fillings like crispy bacon, tomato slices, or avocado for extra flavor.

Step 3: Grill the Sandwich

Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.

Place the sandwich in the pan and cook for 2–3 minutes per side until the bread becomes crispy and golden and the cheese melts perfectly.

Press gently with a spatula while cooking for an extra crunchy crust.

Step 4: Serve and Enjoy

Remove from the skillet and let it cool for about 1 minute.

Slice the sandwich in half and enjoy while the cheese is still warm and gooey.
