Ingredients
- 60 grams Almond flour
- 5 grams Baking powder
- 4 large Eggs
- 60 grams Unsalted butter
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream
- 100 grams Gruyère cheese
- 150 grams Sliced ham
- 5 grams Salt
- 5 grams Black pepper
- 20 grams Mustard
- 15 milliliters Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 200°C (392°F).
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the almond flour, baking powder, one egg, and 30 grams of melted butter. Blend until a smooth batter forms.
Step 3
Pour the batter into two greased ramekins or small baking dishes evenly and microwave on high for 90 seconds until set. Let them cool slightly, then slice each into two to form thin bread-like layers.
Step 4
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 15 grams of butter, add the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Gradually add 70 grams of grated Gruyère cheese, stirring until a smooth cheese sauce forms. Season with half of the salt and pepper.
Step 5
Toast the almond flour bread slices in a pan with another 15 grams of butter until golden brown.
Step 6
Spread mustard on one side of the toasted almond bread slices, then layer with ham and half of the cheese sauce. Top with the second slice of bread.
Step 7
Place the sandwiches on a baking tray and pour remaining cheese sauce on top, sprinkle the rest of the Gruyère cheese.
Step 8
Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
Step 9
Meanwhile, in a frying pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Crack the remaining two eggs gently into the pan, season with remaining salt and pepper, and fry until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny.
Step 10
Remove the sandwiches from the oven, place a fried egg on top of each, and serve hot.
