Carnivore Sandwich

by KetoFocus.com

This almost ZERO CARB carnivore sandwich is perfect for someone who only eats meats. Fried egg, bacon and cheese are sandwiched between two waffles made of pork rinds, egg and cheese.

On a carnivore diet, you might get bored of eating the same things every day – like beef ribs or even steak. This carnivore sandwich is a great way to break up your regular meals and add variety.

A sandwich made out of waffle, egg, cheese and bacon on a plate in front of eggs and cheese slices.

This sandwich is made from ingredients from animals. From the eggs, cheese and bacon – these are all ingredient you probably already eat on a carnivore diet and have in your refrigerator. To make the sandwich “bread”, we make a waffle made out of egg, ground pork rinds and shredded mozzarella cheese. The result is a crispy waffle that will easily hold your favorite sandwich fixings.

This sandwich is almost ZERO CARBS with 1.3 g carbohydrates. The carbs are coming from the shredded mozzarella cheese. You may be able to decrease that if you used shredded cheddar cheese.

  1. I made this sandwich for a quick lunch and it was surprisingly satisfying. The pork rind waffle held together well and added a nice crunch. I did use a regular waffle maker and just spread the batter to the center—it worked fine. This is a great go-to for anyone doing keto or carnivore.

  2. I was amazed at how the pork panko and mozzarella combo created such a crisp and sturdy waffle that held everything together beautifully. I followed the instructions to only cook for a few minutes in my mini waffle maker, and it gave me the perfect crunchy ‘bread’ with a cheesy edge. The melted cheddar meshed so well with the salty bacon and yolky fried egg. I was worried the sandwich might fall apart but the texture of the waffle was surprisingly stable. This recipe nailed that satisfying bite you want from a breakfast sandwich, all while staying almost zero carb!

  3. This was an awesome breakfast option and super satisfying. I really enjoyed how crispy the waffle bread turned out and how well it held everything together without falling apart.

    1. Yes you sure can! If you have a bigger waffle marker than the little dash waffle makers, just don’t use up the entire place. Place the waffle batter in the center in a big glob and then press down. You could also double the recipe.
