For the Keto “Bread”:
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tbsp almond flour
- 1 tbsp coconut flour
- ¼ tsp baking powder
- 1 tbsp heavy cream
- Pinch salt
For the Filling:
- 4 slices Swiss cheese

- 2 tbsp heavy cream
For Cooking:
- 1 tbsp butter

Instructions
1. Make the Keto Bread (2 slices per sandwich – total 4 slices)
You can make 90-second keto bread for convenience.
- In a microwave-safe container, mix almond flour, coconut flour, baking powder, pinch of salt, 1 egg, and heavy cream.
- Microwave 90 seconds until firm.
- Slice into 2 thin pieces. Repeat for the second sandwich.
- Lightly toast the slices in a pan for better texture.
2. Assemble the Sandwich
- Layer bread → Swiss cheese → ham → (turkey optional) → Swiss cheese → top bread slice.
- Press gently to help it stick.
3. Make the Batter
Whisk the 2 eggs and heavy cream in a shallow bowl.
4. Dip & Cook
- Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat.
- Dip each assembled sandwich fully in the egg batter (like French toast).
- Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden, crispy, and the cheese melts.
5. Serve
Sprinkle lightly with keto powdered sweetener and serve with sugar-free raspberry jam—just like the classic Monte Cristo!
