gramThe core of this recipe is the 90 second microwave bread recipe from Matt at Keto Connect and can be found in their cookbook “Keto Made Easy” (link below). I take that bread and griddle it between two slices of cheese to get a crispy sandwich bun (or you can eat it straight up) that tastes a lot like Whisps crackers. I use a variation of this recipe as the bun for my Cubano sandwich recipe.
Ingredients
1 TB melted butter
1 1/2 TB almond flour
1 1/2 TB golden flax meal
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 tsp baking powder
4 slices of thin cheddar (or other) cheese
Directions
- Melt the butter in a ramekin in the microwave.
- Add the almond flour and flax meal and use a fork to mix well.
- Add the egg and baking powder and again mix well with a fork, making certain to get along the bottom edges of the ramekin.
- Microwave for 80-90 seconds, then allow to cool for 2-3 minutes before removing to a wire cooling rack. A small rubber spatula run around the edges works great for this.
- As the bread cools, preheat your mini griddle(s).
- When the bread is cool to the touch, slice in half to form two “buns”.
- Add one slice of cheese to your griddle, followed by a bun, followed by another slice of cheese and cook until you no longer see steam coming from the griddle (4-5 minutes).
- Remove to a cooling rack and repeat steps 6 and 7 if you only have one griddle.

No microwave…. now what?
I found that you can actually just pour the batter on to the first layer of cheese, then top with a second piece of cheese. It’s not as crispy, but it still works.
I was watching one of your past videos where you said you were developing a recipe for hot dog buns. With summer approaching we sure could use it. Please let us know. Thanks, John C.
