Ingredients

Bread

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons avocado oil or olive oil
  • 6 tablespoons almond flour
  • 1 tablespoon psyllium husk powder
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt

Filling

  • 3 oz Cheddar cheese grated
  • 2 slices Gouda
  • 2 tablespoons butter softened

Instructions

Make the Bread

  • In a medium bowl add the eggs and oil and whisk to combine.
  • In another medium bowl add the dry ingredients and mix well.
  • Add the dry mixture to the egg mixture and mix. If the mixture is too thick, add a tablespoon or two of water.
  • Light spray a square container or dish with oil. We use a toast shape container but a 5 or 6 inch square microwave dish is fine.
  • Pour the mixture into the container and microwave for 90 seconds.
  • Remove and allow to cool slightly before handling. Turn out the cooked bread and with a sharp knife slice cut lengthways into two even slices.

Air Fry the Grilled Cheese

  • Preheat the air fryer according to the manufacturers instructions.
  • Butter one side of both bread slices.
  • Place the cheese on one slice (the unbuttered side). Cover with the other slice, butter side outwards.
  • Place in the air fryer and use a toothpick to hold the sandwich together to prevent the air fryer fans blowing the sandwich apart.
  • Cook at 190C/375F for 3 minutes, turn the sandwich over and cook for a further 3 minutes.
  • Remove the toothpick, slice in half and serve!
