Step 1

Add the mozzarella to a heat proof bowl along with 1/2 tablespoon of butter. Create a double boiler, melting the cheese and butter until well combined. Allow to cool a little.
Step 2

Add the ground almonds to a food processor along with the cream cheese, cooled melted cheese mixture and the salt and pepper. Blend well to combine.
Step 3

Add the egg and blend again to form a sticky dough.
Step 4

Cover the dough in plastic wrap and transfer to the fridge for 30 minutes.
Step 5

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit and line a shallow oven tray with baking paper.
Step 6

Open the dough out on the plastic wrap and lay another sheet of the plastic wrap on top. Roll into a rough square shape about 1/3 inch thick.
Step 7

Turn the dough out onto the baking paper, discarding the plastic wrap.
Step 8

Transfer to the oven to bake for 8 minutes then turn and bake for a further 8 minutes until lightly golden all over.
Step 9

Slice the bread in half and liberally butter each side.
Step 10

Cover one of the buttered sides with the grated cheddar.
Step 11

Preheat a broiler to high and broil the cheese covered slice until the cheese begins to melt.
Step 12

Top the sandwich with the remaining slice and broil for a further minute, or optionally finish off in a hot buttered griddle pan for a char griddled look. Slice in half to serve.
