Total Time: 20 mins
Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 2 sandwiches
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup almond flour
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 2 slices of cheese
- 2 sausage patties
- Butter for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the keto "pancake" buns by combining almond flour, baking powder, and eggs in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth and well-incorporated.
- Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat. Lightly grease the surface with butter to prevent sticking.
- Pour small circular portions of the batter onto the heated surface, creating 4 pancake-like rounds approximately 3-4 inches in diameter.
- Cook each round for 2-3 minutes until bubbles form on the surface and edges start to look dry. Carefully flip and cook the other side for an additional 1-2 minutes until golden brown.
- In a separate skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes on each side until fully cooked and reaching an internal temperature of 160°F.
- Once sausage patties are cooked, place a slice of cheese on each patty and allow it to melt slightly.
- Assemble the sandwich by placing a sausage patty with melted cheese between two of the almond flour "pancake" buns.
- Optional: Lightly butter the exterior of the buns for additional flavor and crispness.
- Serve immediately while warm and enjoy your keto-friendly breakfast sandwich.
Tips
- Use fresh, room temperature eggs for the best batter consistency
- Keep your skillet at medium heat to prevent burning the almond flour buns
- Use a non-stick pan or well-seasoned griddle to ensure easy pancake removal
- Don't overmix the batter - a few small lumps are perfectly fine
- For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of salt or herbs to your batter
- Use high-quality, grass-fed butter for better taste and nutrition
- Let the sausage patties rest for a minute after cooking to retain juiciness
- If you prefer, you can meal prep the buns and sausage patties in advance
- Experiment with different cheese varieties for unique flavor profiles
