Keto lox sandwich

Ingredients

Mug bread

• 1 tsp soft butter
• 1 large egg
• 1 tbsp cream cheese, at room temperature
• 1 tbsp almond flour
• 1 tbsp whey protein isolate (unflavored) or pea protein powder (unflavored)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• 1 pinch salt

Toppings

• 1 tbsp cream cheese
• 1 oz. cucumber, sliced
• 3 oz. smoked salmon
• ½ tbsp red onions, thinly sliced
• 1 tsp capers (optional)
• ground black pepper to taste (optional)

Instructions

Mug bread

1. Grease a flat-bottomed mug with butter.
2. Crack in the egg and cream cheese. Combine with a fork or tiny whisk until as smooth as possible.
3. Add the almond flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined.
4. Microwave on medium-high (approximately 700 watts) for 2 minutes. Check if the bread is done in the middle — if not, microwave for another 15-30 seconds.
5. Let cool for a minute and remove from the mug. For a crunchier texture, slice the bread in half and toast it.
