These grilled cheese sandwiches have fewer carbs and are healthier than regular grilled cheese sandwiches by using a zucchini "bread" similar to zucchini pizza crust.
Ingredients:
- 4 cups packed freshly shredded raw zucchini not yet drained (about 2 medium zucchini)
- 2 large eggs
- 10 tbsp superfine almond flour you can substitute with all purpose if not following a strict low carb diet
- 1/2 cup freshly shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
- 2 thick slices of cheese of your choice
Directions:
- Preheat oven to 450ºF. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Add shredded zucchini to a large bowl and let sit 10-15 minutes. Drain excess water from zucchini bowl. Using a tea towel or several sturdy paper towels, add in 1/2 cup of zucchini into a towel and wring dry. Repeat with remaining zucchini. When you are finished, you should have about 2 packed cups of zucchini remaining. It is okay that the zucchini is still slightly damp. If you've made cauliflower crust before, you do not need to wring zucchini as dry as the cauliflower.
- Add in eggs, flour, shredded Parmesan cheese, and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are thoroughly combined.
