This Keto Cheesy Bread is a delicious low-carb side dish, baked in a skillet to achieve a tender texture with a crispy, golden cheddar cheese crust. Perfect for those following a keto diet, each slice contains only 2.6g net carbs, making it an ideal accompaniment or snack.


Ingredients

For the Skillet

  • 1 tbsp butter

Dry Ingredients

  • 2 cups (224 g) almond flour
  • 1/2 cup (80 g) flax seed meal
  • 2 tsp baking powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1 1/2 cups (169.5 g) shredded Cheddar cheese, divided

Wet Ingredients

  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/3 cup (75.67 g) butter, melted
  • 3/4 cup (187.5 g) unsweetened almond milk


Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven and prepare skillet: Preheat your oven to 425ºF. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in a 10-inch oven-proof skillet and put the skillet in the oven while it heats up to melt the butter and ready the pan.
  2. Mix dry ingredients: In a large bowl, whisk together the almond flour, flax seed meal, baking powder, salt, and 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese. Ensure the mixture is uniform before adding liquids.
  3. Add wet ingredients: Stir in the eggs, melted butter, and unsweetened almond milk to the dry ingredients until the batter is thoroughly combined and smooth.
  4. Prepare batter in skillet: Carefully remove the hot skillet from the oven using oven mitts. Swirl the melted butter around the sides of the skillet to coat evenly. Pour the batter into the skillet and smooth the top with a spatula.
  5. Add cheese topping: Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the top of the batter for a crispy, cheesy crust.
  6. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 16 to 20 minutes until the edges are browned and the center is set. The cheese on top should be bubbling and nicely browned.
  7. Cool before serving: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 15 minutes before slicing and serving to allow it to set properly.
