Grain free

This recipe comes from http://www.ticklemysweettooth.com/blog/?p=267. Candice is a professional baker who loves to make low carb foods. This is one of her recipes. If you're following a grain-free diet, this is a great addition to your recipe box. I'm printing the recipe exactly as written on her blog. Next time I will add a little onion or some bacon. This is a recipe that you can add flavors to enhance the sandwich. 

Ingredients:

1 Tablespoon unsalted butter(plus 1-3 teaspoons for frying)

2 Tablespoons water

2 large eggs

2 Tablespoons Coconut Flour

1/2 teaspoon baking powder

dash of salt

dash of garlic powder(optional)

1 oz cheddar cheese, cut in thin slice/slices(or whatever cheese you want to use)

Instructions:

Melt 1 Tablespoon butter in microwave. Mix in your water and eggs using a fork.
Add coconut flour, baking powder, salt, and garlic salt(if using). Mix until completly smooth.

Pour into a small square plastic, microwave safe, dish. Cook on high in microwave for about 2 minutes, until fully cooked. Let cool a few minutes then flip out and slice length wise in half.

Melt 1-3 teaspoons of butter in a frying pan. when half is melted I kind of dip the bottom slice of ‘bread’ in it then place on counter for a second. Then when rest of butter is melted I place top of bread face down, layer on cheese, then place top other slice on(butter dipped side facing up).
Fry until golden brown and cheese is melted.
