Equipment
- loaf pan
Ingredients
For The Onion Mixture
- 1 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Thinly Sliced Yellow Onion
- 1/4 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
For The Bread
- 1 3/4 cups Superfine Almond Flour
- 1/3 cup Unflavored Whey Protein Isolate
- 1 tbsp Baking Powder
- 1/2 tsp Fine Sea Salt
- 4 Large Eggs
- 1/2 cup Sour Cream
- 3 tbsp Melted Unsalted Butter
- 1 cup Shredded Gruyere Cheese
Instructions
- Heat the oven to 350°F. Line an 8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch loaf pan with parchment paper.
- Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onion and 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, then cook for 12 to 15 minutes until soft and deep golden; stir in the thyme and cool for 5 minutes.
- Whisk the almond flour, whey protein isolate, baking powder, and 1/2 teaspoon sea salt together. In another bowl, whisk the eggs, sour cream, and melted butter until smooth.
- Stir the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Fold in the caramelized onion and 3/4 cup of the Gruyere, then spread the batter in the loaf pan.
- Scatter the remaining 1/4 cup Gruyere over the top. Bake for 42 to 48 minutes, until the center is set and the cheese forms a golden crust.
- Cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then transfer to a rack. Let the bread cool another 20 minutes before serving so the onion-rich crumb stays moist but cleanly set.
