Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp heavy cream (or unsweetened almond milk)
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tbsp butter or avocado oil
- 2 slices cheddar cheese (or mozzarella, provolone)
- 4 slices cooked bacon or ham
- Optional add-ins: spinach, sliced avocado, mushrooms, or tomato slices
Why These Ingredients Work
Eggs provide structure and protein, while cream adds richness and fluffiness. Cheese and fillings add fat and flavor — perfect for staying in ketosis.
Ingredient Notes
- Eggs: Use fresh, large eggs for the best texture and flavor.
- Dairy-Free Option: Swap heavy cream with coconut cream or almond milk.
- Cheese: Choose full-fat, sugar-free cheese for best keto results.
- Protein Fillings: Bacon, sausage, turkey, or leftover grilled chicken all work well.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1: Prepare the Egg Mixture
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk until smooth and slightly frothy — this helps create fluffy, tender eggs.
Step 2: Cook the Egg “Buns”
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt butter. Pour the egg mixture into small circles (use egg rings if available). Let cook gently until the edges are set and the bottoms turn lightly golden.
Step 3: Flip Carefully
Using a spatula, gently flip each egg round. Cook for another 30–60 seconds until just set. Soft, fluffy eggs work best for sandwiches.
Step 4: Assemble the Eggwich
Place cheese on one egg round, add bacon or ham, then top with another egg round. Press gently so the cheese melts into creamy perfection.
Step 5: Serve Warm
Remove from heat and serve immediately while the eggwich is warm, melty, and irresistible.
Pro Tips & Variations
- Spicy Kick: Add red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to the egg mixture.
- Veggie Boost: Sauté mushrooms or spinach before adding them to your eggwich.
- Meal Prep Tip: Make egg rounds ahead of time and assemble when ready to eat.
- Extra Fluffy Eggs: Cook low and slow — high heat makes eggs rubbery.
- Breakfast-to-Go: Wrap your eggwich in parchment paper for easy travel.
