Equipment
- Chef's Knife
- Frying Pan
- Grater
Ingredients
- 2 slices keto bread See notes
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 slice tasty cheese
- 1/4 cup mozzarella cheese freshly grated
- 1/8 teaspoon salt flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Start by placing the slices of keto bread on a flat surface. Lay them out carefully so they’re ready for the next steps.
- Take a tablespoon of butter and spread it evenly on one side of each slice of bread. This will create that crispy, golden crust you crave.
- Now, flip the slices over to expose the non-buttered side. On one of these sides, layer your tasty cheese slices generously. You want to make sure it’s filled with flavor!
- Sprinkle a 1/4 cup of freshly grated mozzarella cheese right on top of the other cheese. This will melt beautifully and give you that stretchy, gooey finish we all love.
- Place the other slice of keto bread on top, non-buttered side down, to create your sandwich. Press it gently to ensure everything is held together.
- Lightly grease a non-stick pan and set it over medium heat. Allow it to warm up so it’s ready for your sandwich.
- Once the pan is hot, carefully add your sandwich onto the surface. Let it cook for about 2 to 3 minutes. You want the bread to turn a beautiful golden brown.
- After the first side is beautifully crisped, it’s time to flip! Gently turn the sandwich over and allow it to cook for another 2 minutes. Press down slightly with a spatula, and if you see the cheese starting to ooze out, you know it’s done.
- Remove the Keto Grilled Cheese from the pan and sprinkle it with a pinch of flaky sea salt for that extra flavor boost.
- Lastly, slice the sandwich in half and serve it warm. Enjoy the wonderful melty goodness!
Notes
- Tip 1: Either homemade keto bread or a packaged keto white bread (like Thinslims bread).
- Tip 2: You can prepare up to 5 days’ worth of sandwiches in advance (pre-grilling). Simply prepare them as instructed and place them all on a plate or tray and cover with plastic or saran wrap. When ready to grill, simply remove the sandwich and place it on a greased non-stick pan and cook them as instructed.
- Tip 3: Wrap the prepared non-grilled sandwiches in parchment paper then place them in individual ziplock bags and store them in the freezer for up to 2 months. Thaw them overnight in the refrigerator before grilling.
