Keto 90-second mug bread
A warm little round of bread from the microwave in 90 seconds, soft enough for butter and firm enough to toast. Slice it in half for a sandwich or to mop up a fried egg. A pinch of psyllium is what gives it a bready chew.

Good to know
Why is it eggy or rubbery?
It cooked a little too long. Microwaves differ, so start at 70 seconds next time. Letting it cool before slicing and toasting the cut sides also takes away any eggy edge.

Computed from the ingredients with our published formula, not yet kitchen-tested. How
As written, 323 kcal goes into the pot and 93 g of ingredients comes out as about 84 g of food: 385 kcal per 100 g. Cooking moves water and energy density is the score's biggest lever, so the dish is scored as cooked, not as an average of its parts. Every ingredient links to its food page, with the same data and score. The label's percentages are each macronutrient's share of the calories. The full formula.
