This delicious twist on a classic comfort food we all know and love, keto grilled cheese. In place of regular bread with its high carbload, this keto stack uses cloud bread, almond flour breakfast rounds or even a chaffle-style bread made from cheese and eggs. It keeps your carb count low and it adds to the cheesy goodness of each bite. You can use your go-to keto-friendly cheese for the filling such as cheddar, mozzarella or gouda — they melt so well that you get plenty of stringy cheese pull action. A slab of butter or ghee ensures the outside is toasted to a crunchy, golden brown while the inside remains soft and gooey.
Serve keto grilled cheese for breakfast, lunch or as a quick snack alongside a low-carb tomato soup or eat with fresh salad. This is a speedy dish that will fill you up and isn’t lacking in customisation, with options for spicing it up with avocado, bacon or herbs. Whether Keto, or lowering those carbs, this recipe demonstrates that with the right choices you don’t have to sacrifice comfort foods in order to stick to your program. A serve that contains good fats, protein and minimal carbs — something that satisfies you and keeps you fueled without the sugar spike.
