Upgraded Grilled Cheese Sandwich | Lunch Recipe | The Ultimate Chef

There is nothing quite so satisfying as picking up a big, melty slice of grilled cheese sandwich and biting into that melt goodness. Especially when it’s low-carb!

Directions

 Place all the bread ingredients into a small bowl and mix well.

Grease a ramekin, or like me find a bread-shaped storage container.

Pour the mixture into the container and shake to distribute evenly.

Microwave on high for 90 seconds.

Turn out and cool on a rack.

Note: If you don’t have a microwave, you can use the oven.

Preheat to 175 °C/ 350 °F and bake for 12-15 minutes or until cooked through.

When cool, cut in half and spread with butter, if desired.

Place the cheese slices in the middle and toast for approx. 5 minutes (or try any of our suggested variations).

Eat with gusto.

Store, wrapped, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
