90-Second Microwave Cheese Bread Wedges

90-Second Microwave Cheese Bread Wedges

Here in the Treasure Valley of Idaho, we are experiencing a mild winter. There is plenty of precipitation. The temperatures are just too high to support snow. It is almost sad to see courageous little flakes attempt a landing, only to melt immediately. We were buried in snow last year, so this is quite a change.

It is still cold though, so I am craving comfort food. These cheese wedges are fatty and filling. Often, I do not need anything else.

4th & Heart White Truffle Salt Ghee Butter

90-SECOND MICROWAVE
CHEESE BREAD WEDGES

Prep Time: 3 min
Cook Time: 2 min

INGREDIENTS
  • 1 egg, whisked
  • 1/3 cup almond flour 
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/8 teaspoon Pink Himalayan salt
  • 2 and 1/2 tablespoons ghee or coconut oil, melted (I used 4th & Heart White Truffle Salt Ghee)
  • 1/4 cup grated cheddar

NOTE: There’s no need to grease the mug since there is plenty of fat in the bread.

INSTRUCTIONS
  1. Use a microwaveable mug.
  2. Crack the egg inside the mug and beat it.
  3. Add the remaining ingredients and stir with a fork.
  4. Microwave for 90 seconds on high.
  5. Turn the mug upside down to pop it out.
  6. Gently cut into wedges.
I don’t butter the bread because of the Ghee.

I welcome your comments!

When all I want for dinner...is steak!

Rib-eye Steak
Cooked with Za-atar and Buffalo Ghee

There are some proponents of the low-carb lifestyle who eat only meat and fat. In Episodes #1342 and #1343 of the Livin' La Vida Low-Carb Show, I listened to Amber O'Hearn describe how a 100% animal-based diet has restored her body to optimum health. My first concern centered on whether she is receiving all of her necessary nutrients. She maintains that she is. Plus, she finds it much easier to regulate her weight. 

I, too, have found that I lose weight more quickly when I stick to only protein and fat. I am not sure that I want to cut out carbs completely, mostly because I enjoy them, but Amber is interesting to listen to. 

Her podcast episode did, in fact, make me crave steak. In fact, this ribeye—rubbed with Za-atar Middle Eastern Seasoning and cooked slowly in Trader Joe's Seasoned Buffalo Ghee—was all I ate. The scallions were the only carbohydrates.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!
