Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- Whisk or hand mixer
- Skillet (preferably cast iron or oven-safe)
- Measuring cups and spoons
- Silicone spatula
- Grater (if shredding your own cheese)
- Oven (preheated to 350°F or 175°C)
Ingredients
- 3 cups shredded Cheddar cheese divided (1 ½ cups for the dough, 1 ½ cups for topping)
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups almond flour
- 2 teaspoons baking powder
- 2 tablespoons butter for greasing the skillet
- 1 cup flax seed meal
- ⅔ cup butter melted
- 1 ½ cups unsweetened almond milk
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Grease a skillet (preferably 10-12 inches in diameter) with 2 tablespoons of butter. Set aside.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, flax seed meal, baking powder, salt, and dried Italian herbs. Stir to ensure even distribution.
- Crack the eggs into the same bowl and whisk them in. Add the melted butter, unsweetened almond milk, and 1 ½ cups of shredded Cheddar cheese. Mix until a smooth batter forms.
- Pour the batter into the prepared skillet and spread it evenly.
- Sprinkle the remaining 1 ½ cups of shredded Cheddar cheese over the top of the batter.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Let the bread cool for a few minutes before slicing. Serve warm for best results.
Notes
For the best results, always use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Finely ground almond flour helps achieve a smoother dough, and using freshly shredded cheese enhances the flavor.
If your dough feels too sticky, a quick chill in the refrigerator can help. Also, let the bread cool slightly before slicing to keep its shape intact.
