Ingredients

• 2 slices Low-carb bread
• 3 ounces Sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 0.125 teaspoon Sea salt
• 0.125 teaspoon Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Start by spreading a thin layer of Dijon mustard on one side of each slice of low-carb bread. This will add a nice tangy flavor to your grilled cheese.

Step 2

Place the sharp cheddar cheese between the mustard-dressed sides of the bread. Ensure the cheese is evenly distributed for consistent melting.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix together the unsalted butter, garlic powder, sea salt, and black pepper until well combined.

Step 4

Spread the butter mixture evenly on the outside of each slice of bread. This will help achieve a flavorful and crispy crust.

Step 5

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Allow it to reach a good cooking temperature for about 2 minutes.

Step 6

Place the sandwich into the skillet with the buttered side facing down. Press gently using a spatula to ensure even cooking.

Step 7

Cook the sandwich on one side for about 4-5 minutes or until the bread becomes golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Carefully flip the sandwich to the other side using a spatula and continue cooking for another 4-5 minutes until the other side is golden and the cheese is fully melted.

Step 9

Once done, remove the sandwich from the skillet. Let it rest for 1 minute before slicing in half for serving.

Step 10

Serve the low-carb grilled cheese sandwich warm, and enjoy it on its own or with a side salad for a complete low-carb meal.
