Description
A quick almond flour and flax skillet bread baked in a hot, buttered pan, topped with melted Cheddar and sliced into wedges.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tsp (9.5 g) butter, for preparing the skillet
- 1 1/3 cups (149 g) fine almond flour
- 1/3 cup (53 g) ground flaxseed (flax meal)
- 1 1/3 tsp baking powder
- 1/3 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 cup (113 g) shredded sharp Cheddar cheese, divided
- 2 large eggs
- 3 1/2 tbsp (50 g) butter, melted
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) unsweetened plain almond milk
Instructions
- Adjust your oven rack to the middle position and preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Place an 8-inch oven-safe skillet in the oven to heat while it preheats.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the almond flour, flax meal, baking powder, salt, and garlic powder. Stir in about two-thirds of the cheese (2/3 cup or 75 g).
- Add the eggs, melted butter, and almond milk. Mix just until a uniform batter forms. Do not overmix.
- Carefully remove the hot skillet. Add the 2 teaspoons of butter and swirl to coat the bottom and slightly up the sides as it melts.
- Pour the batter into the hot skillet and spread evenly. Sprinkle the remaining cheese (1/3 cup or 38 g) over the top.
- Bake for 18 to 24 minutes, until the edges are golden brown, the center is firm, and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean. Optional: internal temperature should be about 95°C (203°F).
- Remove from the oven and cool in the skillet for 10 to 15 minutes. Slice into 8 wedges and serve.
Notes
- Storage: Cool completely, then store airtight in the refrigerator for up to 7 days. Room temperature storage is best limited to 24 hours, especially in warm weather. Freeze tightly wrapped for up to several months.
- Skillet: An 8-inch cast iron or other oven-proof skillet works best for this recipe volume to achieve the intended thickness.
- Doneness: Center should feel firm; a toothpick should come out clean.
