Breakfast sandwiches are Matt’s all-time favorite food. When we first started dating we would make them every weekend. We would shop for some fresh ingredients on Saturday morning, including some freshly baked sourdough bread and make the ultimate breakfast sandwiches! Going keto has not stopped that tradition for us. We have created a perfect, yet Easy Keto Breakfast Sandwich for you to indulge in this weekend.
What are Keto Breakfast Sandwiches?
Ever have a craving for something comforting, hot, savory and of course breakfast-appropriate? This skillet bread recipe might be what you’re looking for.
Keto-Friendly
You don’t need to miss out on sandwiches on a keto diet. Unlike conventional high-carb recipes, this low carb breakfast is gluten free, suitable for a keto diet and is made with coconut flour, which is usually cheaper to buy than almond flour.
Easy to Make
Don’t worry – this recipe is just as delicious as the original and super easy to make, with a cook time of only 12 minutes total time. You’ll have no excuse to skip breakfast now! Plus, you can even make the bread in the microwave. It doesn’t get easier than that.
So Many Flavor Possibilities
While we offer suggestions for toppings in our recipe, you can even customize your own fillings, including sausage patties, extra egg and of course, cheese.
Sweet or savory? It’s up to you – why not add berries and whipped cream for a high tea experience?
Nutritional Information
This recipe is a low carb keto favorite not just because of the flavor, but the amazing nutrition. You just can’t beat this for a delicious gluten free bread that’s low in carbs and high in protein!
The nutritional information for this recipe is as follows:
- 923 calories
- 57 g protein
- 71 g fat
- 12 g carbohydrates
- 5 g fiber
Who knew a bread recipe could be so low carb?
Modifying to Suit Your Diet
This recipe can easily be tweaked based on your preferences and requirements. If you want to increase the protein and fat you can add fillings like egg, sausage and cheddar cheese.
If the calories are a bit high, you can always have just one egg as a topping, or even go for one slice over two without worrying that you’ll miss the egg sandwich experience altogether.
Got nut allergies? No problem – this recipe doesn’t use any almond flour, but they’re still nice and fluffy like bread thanks to the baking powder. However, if you don’t use baking powder, your slices may be more flat and dense.
Low Carb Bread Options
While many recipes (including this one) include a skillet option, Matt loves to start his keto breakfast sandwich off with an easy mug bread. Less hassle and clean up. However, my preferred route would be baking a fresh loaf of keto bread, slicing it up and toasting some to get the sandwich ball rolling.
If you like to do things like me, we’ve got some great low carb bread recipes for you to try:
- Best Keto Bread
- Cheesy Keto Garlic Bread (Megha’s personal fav!)
- Coconut Flour Keto Bread
The best part about baking a keto friendly loaf of bread is you can pre-slice it and store it in the fridge for up to one week or in the freezer for up to one month, making keto breakfast sandwiches an every-meal possibility!
Fillings
The best part about this recipe is the flavor combinations are endless. From eggs to cheese, there are a tonne of different keto-friendly additions to the bread base that not only taste delicious but will keep those net carbs low. You can even bring the heat by adding some hot sauce!
Keep It Simple
Matt is a simple guy. Nothing wrong with that, just his style. From clothing to sandwiches, he’s minimal in how he presents it. If you want to keep it simple like Matt (or you could also say classic), all you really need to complete this delicious keto breakfast sandwich is a couple of layers of bacon, egg and cheese. You can even drizzle on some low-carb maple syrup and have yourself a homemade McDonalds McGriddle minus the carbs and processed ingredients!
Get A Little Wild
This section is dedicated to my “over the top” low carb keto sandwich lovers, and who better than to write this than me. As a lover of extra toppings and fillings, I must say: going simple just doesn’t make sense to me.
Your Keto Breakfast Sandwich already has the basics: bacon, eggs and cheese. But what if you could increase flavor, texture and the degree to how satisfying this low carb bread sandwich could be? No one’s going to say no to that.
If you want to get just a little wild you could opt for some sliced avocado, tomato and onion. This is a great option for lunch, especially one that’s portable and can be eaten on the go. Personally, I like to go crazy so I would definitely spread some mayo on my toasted bread and use a couple of different kinds of cheese (especially cheddar cheese). Now, that’s a low carb masterpiece.

Notes

I replaced the heavy cream with the same amount of butter, I put some salt in it, and I used two small eggs instead of one big egg, and I could slice it into three slices, I made it in a ramekin. The taste is good, the salt took away the taste of coconut, so this is a win recipe for me, I hate other keto breads because they’re too eggy.
I thought this recipe would look like the bread in the picture , like a “biscuit”, but it doesn’t at all. I even took it out after it was done cooking and toasted it and it still wasn’t like the picture. It tasted okay.
Hi! Can you use Carbquik with this recipe? I’m looking forward to trying the mini donuts recipe that you posted using Carbquik. I just purchased a box and was wondering how many other
recipes that you used it with successfully. Thank you!!!
I really liked this but it crumbly. I live above 5k feet above sea level so wondering if anyone has found a higher altitude adjustment?
Dude this was amazing. Tastes soo good. Btw the macros on myfittnesspal is different compared to whats given here.
I tried this recipe this morning and I absolutely love it. it’s very filling and I’m satisfied
On your keto bread what can you substitute for heavy cream? I get mega sick with heavy cream. Thank you
You could try a coconut cream/milk or other non dairy milk.
Made the breakfast Sand this morning using your biscuit recipe. It was awesome. Thank you so much for being here for me.
I made pancakes for my non keto family. I made just the “bread” part of this recipe for myself, threw in a few blueberries, and topped it with a little whipped cream sweetened with a touch of monk fruit. Wow. My breakfast life is changed forever.
I just wanted to leave a quick comment for people not wanting to use coconut flour. Almond cannot be swapped out at a 1:1 ratio as it isn’t nearly as absorbent as coconut flour. You would need to double or triple the flour (and it will be crumbly). I used oat fiber as a substitute and just left the water out and it worked well. Oat fiber is also very absorbent. Next time I may add just a little almond flour for texture. Just remember, no matter what you sub, the macros will change if you are tracking them.
I don’t have heavy cream. Could I use skim milk?
Finally a breakfast sandwich for my husband! The mug bread comes out perfect every time!
This does not come out looking anything like the photo. The photo is misleading. It did taste like coconut, maybe with half almond flour it would be less coconutty. Also, I didnt.add another egg because it was pretty eggy as it was.
For those not wanting to use the microwave, I used my mini waffle maker and they came out great. 2 waffles per recipe for 1 sandwich.
The bread/roll in the photo, has that been air fried or oven baked???
This was sooo good!
Seriously? 923 cal. I can’t afford to eat those
The great thing about a breakfast sandwich is you can adjust based on your needs!
This really is delicious. You have to try it to believe it.
How Can you bake this because the sides of your biscuits are brown? so how are you able to bake it and have it brown on top and the sides? I really like Keto basically everything.
also you misspelled the word “sandwich” in the calorie section Thank you
The biscuit in the picture appears to be from their Air Fryer Biscuits recipe. You don’t actually need an air fryer though as you can bake them between 350-375 for 15-20 mins depending on your oven. I prefer the biscuit over the mug bread here. The mug bread is just really fast if you are in a hurry.
I have a question. The Breakfast sandwich recipe that you just emailed out, it talks about cooking it in a mug. However, I can see lines from a muffin paper? Did you use something besides a mug to cook it in?
