Keto Grilled Cheese
Description
Keto Grilled Cheese uses a batter made from coconut flour, eggs, milk, baking powder, and butter that is cooked in a microwave to form bread slices. These slices have a firm but tender texture suitable for grilling. The sandwich is assembled with sharp cheddar cheese between two such slices, then cooked over medium-low heat in butter until the bread is golden and the cheese is melted.
Cooking over medium-low heat is important to achieve an even golden crust without burning, allowing the cheese to melt properly. The sandwich serves two generous portions and can be refrigerated for up to four days, reheated in a microwave or toaster oven without significant texture loss.
This keto grilled cheese offers a satisfying option for those avoiding traditional bread while maintaining a familiar sandwich experience with a rich buttery flavor and cheddar cheese melted inside.
Ingredients
- 5 tablespoons butter divided, unsalted
- 4 tablespoons milk divided, whole
- 2 egg divided, large
- ¼ teaspoon salt divided
- 4 tablespoons coconut flour 28 grams, divided
- 1 teaspoon baking powder divided, gluten-free if needed
- 2 ounces cheddar cheese sharp
Instructions
- Place 2 tablespoons of butter in a square glass sandwich-size container. Microwave until melted, about 50 seconds.
- Mix in 2 tablespoons of milk, 1 egg, and ⅛ teaspoon of salt. Add 2 tablespoons of coconut flour and ½ teaspoon of baking powder and mix until thoroughly combined.
- Microwave the batter for 90 seconds. Allow it to rest for a minute, then carefully run a knife around the edges and release the bread from the container. If the bottom sticks, carefully run a small spatula underneath. Place the bread on a wire rack and allow it to cool while you make another slice.
- Repeat steps 1-3 to make a second slice of bread.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Assemble the sandwich by placing two cheese slices between the bread slices you've just made.
- When the butter foams, place the sandwich in the skillet. Cook until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes per side, over medium-low heat. To ensure even browning, press on the sandwich with a large spatula, or better yet, place a heavy pot on top to flatten it.
- Transfer the sandwich to a cutting board. Cut it into two triangles and serve.
Notes
- Cook the sandwich over medium-low heat to prevent burning and ensure even browning.
- Each sandwich makes two servings; leftovers can be kept in an airtight container lined with paper towels in the fridge for 3-4 days.
- Reheat leftovers in a microwave or toaster oven for best results.
