INGREDIENTS:
- 3 Low Carb Buns
- 4 Slices Medium Cut Deli Ham
- 1 Tablespoon Salted Butter
- 2 Slices Cheddar Cheese
- 2 Slices Muenster Cheese
INSTRUCTIONS:
- Bread:
- Preheat the oven to 350F.
- In a bowl, combine almond flour, salt, and baking powder. Mix well.
- In a separate small bowl, add salted butter and coconut oil. Melt in the microwave for 20 seconds, then add it to the dry ingredients bowl.
- Mix the ingredients together to form a dough. Scramble two eggs and add them to the dough mixture.
- Add 1 tablespoon of coconut flour to thicken the dough. Mix until well combined.
- Evenly distribute the dough into a greased cupcake tray, filling each cavity about 3/4 inch.
- Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until the buns turn golden brown.
- Allow the buns to cool in the pan for 10-15 minutes before removing. Cut each bun in half to form the sandwich buns.
- Sandwich:
- In a hot pan, fry the deli ham slices until they are heated through.
- Arrange the cheddar and muenster cheese slices in an alternating pattern and cut them into quarters.
- Place the ham slices and cheese quarters between the low-carb bun halves to assemble the sandwiches.
- Heat the salted butter in a pan over medium-high heat.
- Once the butter is browned, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the assembled sandwiches to the pan.
- Press down on the sandwiches with a weight (such as a spatula or another pan) until you smell a slight burning aroma. Then, flip the sandwiches to crisp both sides evenly.
- Once the cheese is melted and the bread is crispy, remove the sandwiches from the pan.
- Serve the Keto Grilled Ham & Cheese sandwiches hot and enjoy!
TIPS:
- Feel free to customize your Keto Grilled Ham & Cheese sandwich by adding other low-carb ingredients such as sliced tomatoes, lettuce, or pickles.
- If you prefer a spicier flavor, you can add a dollop of your favorite low-carb hot sauce or mustard.
- Use a non-stick pan or a panini press to achieve a crispy exterior for the sandwich.
- These sandwiches can be made in advance and reheated in a toaster oven or under a broiler for a quick meal.
