Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Almond flour
• 1 teaspoon Baking powder
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 cup Shredded mozzarella cheese
• 1 5-ounce can Canned tuna
• 2 tablespoons Mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Celery
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 teaspoons Pickles
• 1 tablespoon Butter (for grilling)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and grease a small rectangular baking dish or pan.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the mozzarella cheese and butter together in 30-second increments, stirring until fully combined.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, mix the almond flour and baking powder.

Step 4

Whisk the eggs in a small bowl, and then combine them with the cheese mixture.

Step 5

Add the almond flour mixture to the wet ingredients and stir until a dough forms.

Step 6

Spread the dough evenly in the greased pan, smoothing the surface to create an even layer.

Step 7

Bake the bread for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Allow it to cool completely before slicing into two sandwich-sized squares.

Step 8

While the bread cools, prepare the tuna filling by draining the canned tuna and mixing it with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, finely chopped celery, finely chopped pickles, salt, and pepper in a bowl.

Step 9

Split the baked bread into two slices using a serrated knife, if needed. Spread the tuna mixture evenly onto one slice, then top with the other.

Step 10

Heat a non-stick skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Place the sandwich in the pan and press down gently with a spatula or a grill press.

Step 11

Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Step 12

Remove from heat, let it cool slightly, and then slice in half to serve.

Step 13

Enjoy the warm, cheesy, and flavorful Keto Tuna Panini!
