The "bread" is baked egg, not flour.
This sandwich skips bread by using baked egg rounds instead: whipped egg whites folded into a cream cheese and egg yolk base, then baked into rounds sturdy enough to hold a real sandwich filling. That swap is what keeps the carbs down. The count comes from the avocado, tomato and a touch of garlic powder, not from a bun. Bacon, cheddar and avocado are all naturally low in carbs on their own.
Keto Avocado Cheddar Breakfast Sandwich
Baked egg rounds, crispy bacon, avocado, tomato and melted sharp cheddar.
Ingredients
- 6 eggs, large, separated
- 115 g cream cheese, room temperature
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- 4 slices sharp cheddar cheese
- 1 large avocado
- ½ medium tomato
- 12 slices bacon, thick-cut, cooked crispy
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- 1
Preheat the oven to 325°F (160°C) and line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
- 2
Add the 6 egg whites to the bowl of a stand mixer, or a large mixing bowl if using a hand mixer. Mix on high speed until stiff peaks form. Set aside.
- 3
In a separate bowl, whisk the cream cheese with 4 of the egg yolks and the garlic powder. (Reserve the remaining egg yolks for another use.) Season with salt and black pepper, to taste, and stir to combine.
- 4
Working in batches, gently fold the whipped egg whites into the cream cheese mixture with a spatula until combined. Do not overwork.
- 5
Spoon about ¼ cup (60 ml) of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets to make 8 circles. Gently spread each into a rounded disc about ½ inch (1.3 cm) high, leaving space between them.
- 6
Bake until the egg rounds are golden and set in the center, about 15 to 20 minutes.
- 7
Remove from the oven and trim each egg round with a cookie cutter, if you'd like a neater edge.
- 8
Place a slice of cheddar on four of the rounds and return to the oven just until the cheese melts, about 2 minutes.
- 9
While the rounds bake, cook the bacon until crispy and set aside.
- 10
Slice the avocado and thinly slice the tomato.
- 11
Top each cheese-covered round with 2 to 3 avocado slices, a thin tomato slice, and one strip of bacon broken in half.
- 12
Close each sandwich with a plain egg round. Serve immediately, with 2 extra strips of crispy bacon on the side.
