2 fried eggs on 3 very buttery small Warburtons white toasts. Crazy. This is why I have doomed myself, this kind of eating. My 'addict' thinking is one last comfort breakfast after being awake since 4 with Mum on commode (she's snoring again immediately) and then I'll start being 'healthy.' Yeah right.
I'm gonna start the SlimFast liver diet today. No choice as every time I eat now I feel ill. They've sent me yet another Endoscopy appt which I'm not going to. If they put me completely to sleep then I'll go.
My perfect microwave Keto bread.
4g carb for the two slices.
1 portion - takes about five minutes from start to finish. You will need a smallish flat bottomed square or round glass microwaveable dish.
Ingredients.
1/4 cup of almond flour (65g)
1 tablespoon of melted salted butter (15g) - 1 tablespoon of unmelted butter then melted. I use a small ceramic bowl for this step.
(if you only use a half teaspoon of butter instead you get a good result and the bread soaks up butter like real bread when you use it - if you use the full amount of butter in the recipe the end result tends to not allow butter to sink in - so if you want to make sandwiches using the small amount of butter works better)
1 teaspoon of baking powder.
1 teaspoon of psyllium husk.
1/4 teaspoon of ground nutritional yeast (you can leave this out it is just for flavour I don't use it any more)
1/4 teaspoon of coconut flour (again just for flavour and can be left out I don't bother using it any more)
tiny pinch of salt - very tiny again for flavour - I usually leave it out.
1 medium egg (it works fine if you have a large egg too or a small egg.)
Method.
First melt the butter in the microwave - I have 900w and I do it for 30 seconds on full and then leave it while I get on with the next stuff. If you are only using the smaller amount of butter it will melt faster.
Put the almond flour and all the other dried stuff together in small bowl and mix it carefully with a fork until you can't see any separate powders. No yellow from the yeast and no white from the baking powder - it is all one mixture.
Then crack the egg into the melted butter and beat with a fork until you get a custard yellow mixture.
Then make a little hole in the flour mixture and pour the egg mixture into that and then mix it together with the fork until you get a nice 'puffy' mixture/light dough.

Scrape the mixture into a small square glass container - you can use a round one but it needs to be flat bottomed if you want slices for a sandwich.
Put into the microwave and cook on full for 90 seconds - if it hasn't raised much you can put it back in for another 10s.
Then tip it out onto a mesh surface to cool. Once it is cool enough to hold in your hands - very carefully using a bread knife - slice it through the middle to make 2 slices.

This works brilliantly toasted or cut into soldiers to have with boiled eggs.
It is quick and easy to do.
