If you are on the ketogenic diet, you may be looking for a breakfast option that is low in carbs, and high in fat. A low carb breakfast sandwich can be a great way to start your day.
I searched for the best keto egg sandwich recipe and tried a few different variations. Most of them were pretty good, but nothing was quite perfect.
So, I created my own recipe for the perfect keto egg sandwich. This sandwich has all of the flavors and textures that you love about a breakfast sandwich, without all of the carbs.
Keto Egg Sandwich Ingredients
For The Bread
1 tablespoon salted butter
1 egg
1 tablespoon coconut flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
For The Sandiwch
Olive oil spray
1 egg
1 slice of cheddar
1 slice of deli ham
Perfect Low Carb Breakfast Sandwich Recipe
This keto breakfast sandwich is so easy to make. Follow these simple steps:
Step 1: Making The Bread
Start by melting the butter in a microwave-safe bowl. Then mix in the other bread ingredients until well combined. Microwave for 90 seconds, then let it cool . Slice the bread into two pieces.
Step 2: Cooking
Put the skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Once hot, add some butter or cooking spray and cook the egg. Then, toast the bread until it turns a golden brown.
Step 3: Assembiling The Sandwich (The Fun Part)
Now it’s time to put your keto egg sandwich together. Add a slice of cheese to one piece of bread, then top with two slices of ham and a fried egg. Add the second slice of bread on top and enjoy!
Can You Freeze The Keto Egg Sandwich?
Yes, you can freeze the sandwich for up to 2 months. The texture will change slightly, but it will still be delicious.
Since keto breakfast sandwiches are so easy to make, I would recommend making a fresh batch when needed instead of freezing and reheating.
If you still decide to freeze, make sure to wrap each sandwich individually in cling wrap, or better yet, vaccuum seal them. This will help maintain freshness and prevent freezer burn.
Is This Egg Sandwich Keto Or Not?
Many people who start the keto diet are often unsure of which foods they can and cannot eat. So, a “keto sandwich” recipe might be confusing at first.
Regular bread is out, since it’s full of carbs. But there are plenty of keto-friendly bread recipes out there. Follow my recipe above, and make a delicous low carb egg sandwich with almost no carbs!
Choosing The Cheese
Almost any sliced cheese will work for these low carb breakfast sandwiches. My favorite one to use is sharp cheddar, but you could also go for pepper jack, Swiss, provolone or even American cheese.
You can try different kinds of cheese everyday with this sandwich and never get bored – that’s why I like this recipe so much.
I make this low carb breakfast sandwich at least once a week and never get tired of it. Everytime, I use a different cheese and it’s always delicious.
Low Carb Breakfast Sandwich Ideas
This low carb sandwich goes really well with a cup of coffee for breakfast. It’s also great for meal prepping and can be made ahead of time and stored in the fridge for up to 2 months .
You can change the flavor of the sandwich by using different types of cheese and meat slices. You can also add different veggies like avocado.
Serving it with a side dish like a cod liver salad is also a good idea.
