Ingredients
- 4 slices bacon strips
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 slices cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 4 tablespoons almond flour
- 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 1 tablespoon water
- 0 cooking spray
- 0.5 piece avocado (optional)
- 0 to taste black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and cook the bacon slices until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon and place it on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease.
Step 2
In a small bowl, whisk together 1 egg and heavy cream until well combined.
Step 3
Spray a small microwave-safe mug or bowl with cooking spray. Add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, water, and the egg mixture. Stir until you obtain a smooth batter.
Step 4
Microwave the batter on high for 90 seconds, or until the bun is cooked through. Remove and let cool slightly before slicing horizontally to form two halves.
Step 5
Heat a small skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Crack the remaining egg into the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook sunny-side up or to your preferred doneness. Set aside.
Step 6
Place one slice of cheddar cheese on the bottom half of the bun. Add the egg, bacon strips, and the second slice of cheddar cheese. Top with optional avocado slices.
Step 7
Place the other half of the bun on top, forming your sandwich. Serve immediately while everything is warm and cheese is slightly melted.
