Ingredients

  • 1 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 0.25 teaspoon salt
  • 4 large eggs
  • 0.25 cup coconut milk
  • 2 tablespoons coconut oil
  • 1 tablespoon ghee
  • 4 slices dairy-free cheese
  • 1 medium avocado
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin with a little coconut oil.

Step 2

In a mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, baking powder, and salt.

Step 3

In another bowl, whisk together two eggs and the coconut milk. Pour this mixture into the almond flour bowl and mix well to form a batter.

Step 4

Spoon the batter evenly into four muffin cups, filling each about halfway. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. Allow to cool for a few minutes before removing them from the tin.

Step 5

Meanwhile, heat the ghee in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Crack the remaining two eggs into the skillet, seasoning with sea salt and black pepper. Cook until the white is set but the yolk is still runny, or to your desired doneness.

Step 6

Halve and pit the avocado, then slice it thinly.

Step 7

To assemble the sandwiches, carefully slice the baked muffins in half horizontally. On the bottom half of each muffin, place a slice of the dairy-free cheese, followed by a cooked egg, avocado slices, and finally the top half of the muffin.

Step 8

Serve immediately for the best texture and taste.
