Ingredients

• 2 slices Paleo bread (grain-free, almond or coconut flour-based)
• 2 slices Paleo-friendly cheese alternative (e.g., cashew or coconut-based)
• 4 slices Tomato
• 2 slices Smoked pastirma or beef bacon (sugar-free, Paleo-compliant)
• 1 tablespoon Coconut oil or ghee
• 1 pinch Sea salt
• 1 pinch Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Heat a skillet or grill pan over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil or ghee to coat the surface.

Step 2

Lay out the slices of Paleo bread on a clean surface. Place a slice of the Paleo-friendly cheese alternative on one slice of bread.

Step 3

Top the cheese with 4 slices of tomato, ensuring they are evenly spaced to cover the bread.

Step 4

Add Paleo-compliant smoked pastirma or beef bacon on top of the tomatoes.

Step 5

Sprinkle a pinch of sea salt and black pepper over the fillings for added flavor.

Step 6

Place the second slice of Paleo bread on top, pressing down gently to create a sandwich.

Step 7

Carefully place the sandwich onto the heated skillet or grill pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on one side, pressing gently with a spatula to ensure the cheese melts and the bread crisps up.

Step 8

Flip the sandwich and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the other side until golden brown and heated through.

Step 9

Remove the tost from the skillet and let it rest for 1-2 minutes. This allows the internal heat to meld the flavors even further.

Step 10

Slice the Paleo Traditional Turkish Toast in half and serve immediately. Pair with a side of Paleo-friendly pickles or a simple green salad if desired.
