Fast and easy-to-make keto grilled cheese sandwich for those who miss bread on a low carb or keto diet! Serve it for breakfast, brunch, or lunch on its own, or with a soup or salad of your choice.

Keto bread for grilled cheese

This MICROWAVE KETO BREAD recipe is all over the Internet – and there’s a reason for that. Not everyone has the time to bake their own loaf of keto bread and it’s not something that you can easily find and buy on supermarkets’ shelves. That’s why this recipe is priceless to have on-hand for those who live a low carb lifestyle.

Usually, 90-second keto bread calls for either coconut flour or almond flour, but 1:1 proportions of these two flours – with some psyllium fiber powder as a gluten replacement – gives this bread the best texture you can get.

To make 2 slices of gluten-free 90 second bread, you need to mix all dry ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl (I use a small rectangular glass lunch box) or ramekin. Then, melt the butter in a small mixing bowl and let it cool down a little bit. Add the cream cheese, apple cider vinegar, egg, and mix well. The last step will be adding the wet ingredient to dry ones, mixing everything together one more time, and microwaving for 1.5-2 mins or until firm.

Now we have to put together our keto grilled cheese sandwich….

Step by step directions

I think most people know how to make a grilled cheese sandwich, but if you haven’t done this before, you may find these instructions helpful in succeeding from the first try.

Take the bread slices that we made in the first paragraph and start frying them on a skillet slightly greased with butter over a medium-high heat. When the bread turned golden brown on the first side, flip only one piece of the bread, place your cheese of choice on top (in my case, I use 2 small slices of mozzarella and 2 thin slices of gouda) and season with some freshly ground black pepper. Using a spatula, lift the second piece and place it on top of the cheese, browned-side down. Cook your low carb grilled cheese sandwich until both sides are golden brown and the cheese has melted.

Serve warm!

What cheese to choose

The type of cheese used for grilled cheese sandwiches is a matter of taste (let’s count how many times I mention “cheese” in this post). Many recipes call for mature cheddar cheese for its “sharp” taste, but I decided to go with a milder flavor and use my favorite cheese in the whole world – gouda, complemented by the stringiness of Italian mozzarella cheese.

Serving ideas

You can definitely eat it on its own for breakfast or lunch! Believe me, it’s a very satisfying meal. But, if you want to pair it with something else, I would suggest you try it with:

KETO CAULIFLOWER SOUP and CREAMY KETO BUTTERNUT SQUASH SOUP RECIPE - this very light and warming soup will complement your keto grilled cheese sandwich perfectly.
