Ingredients
- BUN INGREDIENTS
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tbsp. Almond Flour
- 1 1/2 tbsp. Psyllium Husk Powder
- 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder
- 2 tbsp. Soft Butter
- FILLINGS & EXTRAS
- 2 oz. Cheddar Cheese (or white cheddar, if you’re feeling frisky)
- 1 tbsp. Butter, for frying
Instructions
- Let 2 tbsp. butter come to room temperature in a mug. Once it’s soft, add 2 tbsp. Almond Flour, 1 1/2 tbsp. Psyllium Husk, and 1/2 tsp. Baking Powder.
- Mix this together as well as you can so that a thick dough is formed.
- Add 2 large eggs and continue mixing together. You want a dough that is pretty thick. If your dough isn’t thick, continue mixing the dough – it will thicken up as you mix it (this can take up to 60 seconds).
- Pour the dough into a square container or bowl. Level it off and clean off the sides that that it comes out as level as you can get it.
- Microwave for about 90-100 seconds. You will have to check the done-ness of it to make sure it doesn’t need longer.
- Remove from the container or bowl by flipping it upside down and lightly tapping the bottom. Cut it in half using a bread knife.
- Measure out the cheese you can and stick it between the buns.
- Bring 1 tbsp. butter to heat in a pan over medium heat. Once hot, add bun and allow to cook in the butter. This should be absorbed by the bread as you cook and give a delicious, crisp outside.
- Serve up with a side salad for some delicious ooey-gooey grilled cheese!
