Keto Fried Halloumi and Egg Breakfast Sandwich

Breakfast sandwiches are amazing because they combine all your favorite ingredients in one bite. This Keto sandwich is made with quick microwave bread and layered with grilled halloumi, a perfectly fried egg, crispy lettuce, a tomato slice, and a smear of mayonnaise. It makes for a satiating meal to fuel your morning or a leisurely lunch to beat the afternoon slump.

Can you replace the halloumi with another cheese?

Halloumi is a magical cheese that you can fry/grill until soft and melty on the inside and crispy on the outside. If you still want to grill/fry your cheese, you can use other high-melt cheeses like paneer, queso para frier, or tofu if you’re vegan. Otherwise, feel free to replace the halloumi with mozzarella, cheddar, feta, or any other cheese.

How to make this Keto bread?

Instead of opting for processed store-bought Keto bread, prepare this quick and healthy microwave bread. Whisk melted butter, an egg, almond flour, baking powder, and salt in a mug. Microwave for 80-90 seconds until firm and cooked through. You can use it immediately or store it in a sealed bag/container in the fridge for 3 days. When ready to eat, slice it in half and toast the slices in a tablespoon of butter in a pan. You can use this bread in any sandwich recipe you prefer.

How can you customize this recipe?

This Keto breakfast sandwich recipe is perfect for everyone because it can be easily adjusted. For added flavor, you can top the bread with sesame seeds, nigella seeds, or bagel seasoning before microwaving it. For veggies, experiment with arugula, spinach, or kale instead of lettuce, and radish, cucumber, or red onions instead of tomatoes. You can also pump up the fats in this meal by adding half an avocado.
