Keto Egg Salad Sandwich
Keto-friendly, low-carb egg salad sandwich is simple and delicious. We’ll use low-carb ingredients and a creative bread alternative to keep it keto-compliant. Here’s a recipe for you:
Ingredients:
- Eggs: 4 large (hard-boiled and peeled)
- Mayonnaise: 1/4 cup (make sure it’s sugar-free and keto-friendly)
- Dijon mustard: 1 teaspoon
- Celery: 1 stalk (finely chopped)
- Green onions: 1-2 tablespoons (finely chopped, optional)
- Fresh herbs: such as chives, dill, or parsley (finely chopped, optional)
- Salt and pepper: to taste
- Lettuce leaves: 4 large (Romaine or iceberg for wrapping)
- Avocado: 1 small (sliced, optional for added healthy fats)
- Pickle slices: optional (ensure they are sugar-free)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Eggs: Chop the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces and place them in a mixing bowl.
- Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise with the Dijon mustard until well combined.
- Combine Ingredients: Add the chopped celery, green onions (if using), and fresh herbs to the eggs. Pour the mayo-mustard mixture over the egg mixture and stir gently to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- Lettuce Wrap Option: Lay a large lettuce leaf flat, spoon some egg salad onto the leaf, and top with avocado slices and pickle slices if using. Roll or fold the lettuce leaf around the filling, securing with a toothpick if needed. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Keto Bread Option: If you prefer, you can use keto-friendly bread or chaffles (cheese and egg waffles). Toast the keto bread or chaffles if desired, then spread the egg salad on top. Add lettuce leaves, avocado slices, and pickles as desired.
Optional Add-Ins:
- Bacon: Add crumbled cooked bacon for extra flavor and crunch.
- Cheese: A slice of keto-friendly cheese such as cheddar or Swiss can add more richness.
Serving Suggestions:
- As a Lettuce Wrap: This keeps the sandwich very low in carbs.
- With Keto Bread: Use a keto-friendly bread or chaffle to enjoy a more traditional sandwich feel.
Tips:
- Storage: The egg salad can be made ahead and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Flavor Variations: Add a bit of smoked paprika or hot sauce for an extra kick.
- Meal Prep: Double the recipe to have easy keto meals ready to go for a few days.
