Instructions:
Preparing the Sandwich:
- Prepare the Bread:
- If you are using store-bought keto bread, make sure it’s sliced. If using homemade keto bread, slice it to your desired thickness.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Spread Dijon mustard and mayonnaise on one side of each slice of bread.
- Layer the turkey breast, ham, and Swiss cheese on two of the slices of bread.
- Top with the remaining slices of bread to form two sandwiches.
Preparing the Egg Mixture:
- Prepare the Egg Mixture:
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, garlic powder, and paprika until well combined.
Cooking the Sandwiches:
- Heat the Pan:
- Heat the butter in a skillet or frying pan over medium heat until melted and slightly bubbly.
- Dip and Cook:
- Dip each sandwich into the egg mixture, ensuring that both sides are coated.
- Carefully place the sandwiches in the hot skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese is melted. Be careful not to burn the bread, and adjust the heat as needed.
Serving:
- Serve:
- Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and let them rest for a minute before slicing.
- Optionally, you can dust with a light sprinkle of powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener for a touch of sweetness.
- Garnish:
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired.
- Serve with a side of sugar-free jam or jelly for dipping if you like.
Tips:
- Bread: If you’re making homemade keto bread, ensure it’s firm enough to hold up to the egg mixture without becoming soggy. Alternatively, you can use a keto bread mix or recipe that suits your taste.
- Cheese: Feel free to use other types of cheese like cheddar or provolone if you prefer.
- Sweetener: The powdered erythritol or monk fruit sweetener is optional and can be adjusted according to your taste preference.
