I was on the Paleo diet for a little over a year losing 40 pounds but then my body completely stalled. I wasn’t loosing or gaining weight. After speaking with some of my friends who are doing the Keto diet I decided to make the switch in hopes to lose the last 40 pounds. This marks the third week on the Keto diet. It is similar to the Paleo diet but I find it a lot more strict so I have to be somewhat creative. Normally I do not crave bread because I have not had it for so long but boy would it be nice to have a sandwich once in awhile! I got to thinking, why can I have that BLT sandwich? Sure I can!
Eggs can be so versatile. I have had them so many ways the last few weeks; scrambled, hard boiled and then there is the egg “bread”. I am not a big fan of eating eggs sunny side up like my son and daughter do but if I cook it a bit longer so the yolk is not runny and use it as bread I can have that sandwich! I gave it a shot, glad I did. YUM!
Ingredients
2 Eggs
2 Pieces of bacon (with no sugar)
2 Slices of tomato
1 Large piece of lettuce
1 tbsp Coconut oil
How to:
Use coconut oil in your pan so that the eggs do not stick in the pan. If you have cooked eggs sunny side up just cook the eggs a bit firmer so that the yolk is solid. If you have not cooked eggs sunny side up then just simply crack one egg at a time in your hot pan and cook until one side is firm. Once that is firm gently flip the egg over and cook until the yolk is not runny. If you are cooking both eggs in the same pan make sure that you keep both eggs separated in the pan because each egg is your “bun”. While my eggs are cooking I cook my bacon. Yep I cook mine n the microwave but you can cook them stove top or in the oven. Once the eggs “buns” are cooked gently remove them from the pan one at a time. Placing one on the bottom then adding lettuce, tomato and bacon then the second egg “bun” to the top of the sandwich.
I cannot begin to tell you how delicious this sandwich is! It is messy to eat so make sure you have a napkin handy! What ways do you eat sandwiches without the bread?
This looks like a wonderful breakfast! I live the keto life and I’ve never made and egg bun before!
You have to try it! It is sooooo good!
I have to try this. Looks so filling and delicious. You can never go wrong with bacon! If we opt out of bread, we make lettuce wraps. 🙂
We do lettuce a lot as well but I wanted something different and this definitely was a win! 🙂
Wow, that sounds good! I am on keto too and have lost 14 lbs in 27 days. I really need to clean my keto up a little bit though and lose the dairy!
me too, I love my cheese though!
I just can’t do keto. I tried and it messed me up. Paleo works well for me though.
This recipe works on Paleo too! 🙂
I’m not doing Keto but this looks so healthy and delicious. I’m always looking for good things to make for breakfast.
I’ve been thinking about doing keto but I haven’t been able to make the switch yet. I love carbs and sugar way too much. This looks so good!
