Grilled Keto Sandwiches

Let me start off by saying that the reason I am posting this is because after a little while on keto I can't stand to eat plain meat anymore. Hamburger patties, grilled chicken breasts and pulled pork are great and easy ways to get into the Keto WOE...until you literally resort to forcing it down because you just can't stand the texture or the thought of eating a hunk of meat. I know not all of us have these issues, but it just grosses me out sometimes. So, of course there are low carb tortillas, salads, etc. and those options are great too but I'm on a new kick.

The bottom line is this...I really miss sandwiches, especially grilled cheese and we've been experimenting with some recipes. So we use the Great Low Carb Bread Company thin sliced plain bread (2 slices, 60 cal, 3g fat, 8g carb, 7 g fiber, 7g protein) so 1 net carb for 2 slices...also contains no eggs, since my husband has an egg allergy this bread is a game changer.

We have experimented with Cuban sandwiches, pulled pork, breakfast sandwiches, grilled zucchini with pesto and goat cheese, and meatballs and mozzarella. All were delicious but when a light bulb went off and I realized I could bring my waffle iron to work (using the flat plates for a sandwich press) I was ecstatic! To preface that, I don't have a kitchen at work, so a toaster and microwave were my only resources until now. I'm really enjoying this so much that I can't wait to eat lunch and I don't think I will ever crave fast food again...hopefully.

So, here are some of my workplace creations so far...complete with paper plates (because it's work, not a fancy restaurant): Bacon Cheeseburger with Fried Egg and Turkey Bacon Ranch with Gouda.
