Gluten FreeLow Carb
A quick keto grilled cheese sandwich bread recipe made from coconut flour. A low carb and gluten free bread quickly made in the microwave. I also use this for french toast too!
This is just so delicious and made out of coconut flour. A low carb and gluten free tasty sandwich! All of the taste and none of the guilt! Huzzah! The naming of the sandwich being grilled amuses me, being British, as for us it is fried. To our friends across the pond, it is grilled. I love the differences in a common language! I don't care what it's is called, it is still a lovely low carb sandwich type meal that is fried in butter!
Serve this grilled cheese with a low carb tomato soup for the classic flavour combination.
I find this very filling too. One of these for breakfast and I can keep going all day. Although the Chief Taster had one and hinted he could have another, but I put that down to himlikingit so much rather than hunger. I sometimes zap the sandwich in the microwave at the end to really melt the cheese although that is probably due to me piling up the cheese in the middle.
You can also used 90 second microwave bread made with almond flour for a grilled cheese. For a sweet breakfast recipe using this 90 second coconut flour bread recipe try our Keto French Toast.
KETO GRILLED CHEESE
You could play around with this keto grilled cheese and add other fillings or herbs to this. I use garlic powder, dried herbs and white pepper to flavour it but feel free toget creative! Perhaps some jalapenos in the cheese would be nice...ooh, might try that next time. Another great version of this is my pizza grilled cheese sandwich.

I just made this for brunch. You're right, it is very filling! I managed to eat only half, so I'm saving the other half for breakfast tom. Thanks for this recipe! This is the 2nd divalicious recipe I made this week! The first one was the walnut bread. So far, that's the best keto bread recipe I've found 🙂

I love the walnut bread too! Glad you enjoyed the grilled cheese!

Hello and thanks for this recipe! Before I fix this, is it at all "eggy?" I am pregnant and certain smells and tastes just aren't appealing at all. I've tried grilled cheese recipes and they all turn out too "eggy" 🙁
Reply
Angela Coleby
If you are pregnant your senses are going to be extra sensitive and I think you would find this a bit eggy. Frying the bread helps disguise any "egginess". Perhaps add some flaxseed or almond flour into the bread mix. Congratulations too!

Hello. I’m curious where 7 net carbs come from? The spices?
Reply
Angela Coleby
A couple of grams do. So I've now shown the nutritional info without them. The main carbs will be the coconut flour as everything else is low/zero (cheese, butter and eggs). If you made this with flaxseed flour it would be slightly lower in carbs too, but may have a different taste.

Great recipe for yummy cheese sandwich. My "bread" keeps getting stuck in the dish and I have trouble getting it out in one piece. Even if the dish is "greased", the bottom always seems to stick. Any hints on the best type of dish to use?
Reply
Angela Coleby
I use a piece of Tupperware if that helps!

Parchment paper lining your dish will eliminate sticking and you can easily peal off the paper from the bread. EGGY? It would definitely seem that way reading the ingredients with 2 whole eggs to only 2 tbsps of water and 2 tbsps of coconut flour. The worse that could happen is you don't like it, so just try it.

Thanks for the amazing and easy recipes! So awesome this one goes in the microwave, turned out great. Instead of herbs I mixed in cinnamon and sugar substitute, helped with my cravings for something sweet!

Glad you enjoy it! I've also used this for a french toast recipe too! Dipped in eggs once cooked and fried in the pan. Perfect when you are hungry but don't want to spend ages chopping and cooking! Love the sweet version you are making though!

Thanks so much! This was good! I might cut back on the garlic powder next time though, loved the herbs! I was so relieved to see a recipe that was quick and easy and without a lot of exotic ingredients! I made mine a grilled cheese with bacon and tomato as well. Bacon makes everything better!

Thanks K! Glad you enjoyed it. I must admit I love this as a quick dish when I get home and don't want to spend ages chopping/cooking. And so tasty too! You made me giggle about your bacon reference as I had read this phrase today "I love bacon because I can wrap it around everything. Essentially, it's the duct tape of food" and thought of you!!

Fantastic! I am currently loving this for breakfast at the moment...make it the night before, then nuke it when I get to work in the morning...keeps me going and low carbs! One of my fellow divas tried this recipe and made french toast...would recommend this too! Glad you liked it!!

I don't have a microwave so could this be cooked another way?
Reply
Divalicious
I have not tried it, but you might be able to bake this in the oven...I would suggest about 20 mins at 190C...but do check it. It should be firm and spongy! Let me know how it goes!
