How To Make A Keto Breakfast Sandwich

It’s very easy to make a low-carb breakfast sandwich at home with a sandwich press maker.

1. First, spread butter on the outside of both slices of keto bread – these sides are going to be toasted in a skillet or in the sandwich press. Set aside.
2. Cook the bacon in the skillet until fried and crispy on both sides. Set it aside on a plate.
3. Next, cook the egg in the skillet in the bacon grease until the white egg is crispy.
4. Cover with a lid, turn the skillet over medium heat, and set aside until the egg yolk is half cooked. This is optional, but it sets the egg yolk slightly and makes it easier to hold in a sandwich.
5. Next, top up the first bread slice with a layer of cheese, followed by meat, vegetable, and cheese, and repeat to add more if desired.

Choosing Keto Bread

First, choose the keto bread recipe you want to use. You have a few options based on the time you want to spend in the kitchen and your food allergies. All homemade keto bread loaves are made with keto flour, including almond flour, coconut flour, or sunflower seed flour for a nut-free option.

Pick the recipe that matches your preference below, or buy store-bought keto bread at the store.

Low-Carb Sandwich Filling

Next, choose the keto sandwich filling you want to add to your breakfast sandwich. As a general rule, to make a fulfilling breakfast  keto sandwich, you must pick 1 or 2:

The best options are:

• Slice of cheese
• Ham
• Chorizo
• Bacon
• Chicken or turkey
• Mushrooms
• Firm tofu
• Tempeh

The best low-carb vegetables for sandwiches are:

• Baby spinach leaves
• Lettuce
• Gherkins or dill pickles
• Olives
• Avocado

It’s always good to add a touch of keto-friendly fat.

Serving

This is a perfect savory breakfast served with your favorite coffee, tea, or cottage cheese smoothie. It’s also a great quick lunch for when you don’t have time to cook something fancy.

Storage Instructions

This Keto Breakfast Sandwich is best served and eaten immediately. However, when I make it, I tend to have some ingredient leftovers. The bread can be kept for a few days in the fridge and reheated in toasted. The bacon and egg can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge and warmed up on a frying pan.

Allergy Swaps

To make a vegetarian sandwich, simply add some of these ingredients:

• Protein: fried egg or, if vegan, use fried mushrooms or firm tofu slices.
• Fat: cheese or if vegan keto, use vegan cheese or avocado.
• Keto vegetables – spinach, cucumber, olives, tomatoes.
