Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons Almond flour
• 0.25 teaspoons Baking powder
• 1 large Egg
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.25 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 Ham slices
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 1 tablespoon Chives, chopped

Directions

Step 1

In a microwave-safe mug or small bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.

Step 2

Add the egg and melted butter to the dry ingredients and whisk until a smooth batter forms.

Step 3

Microwave the mixture on high for about 90 seconds, or until the bread is firm and cooked through. Let it cool for a minute, then remove from the mug and slice in half to create two toast pieces.

Step 4

Preheat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.

Step 5

Place the slices of bread in the skillet and lightly toast them on each side for about a minute until golden brown.

Step 6

Remove the bread from the skillet and increase the heat to medium-high. Place the ham slices in the skillet to warm through for about 30 seconds per side.

Step 7

Lay the toasted bread slices on a plate. Place the warm ham slices on top of each bread piece.

Step 8

Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the ham.

Step 9

Return the stacked breads to the skillet, cover, and heat for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the cheese melts.

Step 10

Transfer to a serving plate, season with black pepper, and garnish with chopped chives before serving.
