Keto Croque Madame with Coconut Béchamel (Dairy-Free)
A keto-friendly and dairy-free take on the classic Croque Madame, featuring a rich coconut-based béchamel sauce.
Ingredients
- 4 slices Keto bread
- 4 slices Cooked ham
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons Coconut flour
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
- 2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 2 each Eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon Salt
- 1/8 teaspoon Black pepper
Instructions
- 1Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- 2Make the coconut béchamel: Melt the 2 tablespoons of coconut oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in the 2 tablespoons of coconut flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in the 1 cup of unsweetened almond milk until the mixture is smooth. Bring the sauce to a simmer, stirring constantly, and cook until it has thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, the 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and the 1/8 teaspoon of black pepper.
- 3Spread the 2 teaspoons of Dijon mustard evenly on one side of each of the 4 slices of keto bread.
- 4Place 2 slices of the 4 slices of cooked ham on top of the mustard on two of the bread slices. Then, place the other two bread slices on top of the ham, mustard-side down, to create two sandwiches.
- 5Place the two sandwiches on a baking sheet. Carefully pour the prepared coconut béchamel sauce over the top of each sandwich, ensuring it covers the bread.
- 6Bake the sandwiches in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the tops are golden brown and the béchamel is bubbly.
- 7While the sandwiches are baking, fry the 2 eggs in a separate skillet over medium heat until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your preference.
- 8Carefully place one fried egg on top of each baked sandwich. Serve immediately.
