Gluten-Free Diet

This recipe is perfectly designed for a gluten-free diet, using specifically gluten-free bread as its base. The recipe explicitly highlights its gluten-free nature, ensuring those with celiac disease or gluten sensitivity can enjoy a delicious breakfast sandwich without worry.

Intermittent Fasting

This protein-packed breakfast sandwich is ideal for intermittent fasting eating windows, providing a balanced meal with protein, healthy fats, and moderate calories that can help sustain energy during limited eating periods.

Low-Carb Diet

While the gluten-free bread adds some carbs, this recipe can be modified for low-carb diets by replacing bread with a low-carb alternative like lettuce wrap or using a very low-carb gluten-free bread. The protein-rich eggs and meat provide a satisfying low-carb meal option.

Instructions

1

Heat a small non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add half of the butter (about 1/2 tbsp) and let it melt, swirling to coat the pan.

1 min
2

While the pan heats, crack the eggs into a small bowl. Add a pinch of salt and pepper, then whisk with a fork until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.

1 min

2 min

Pour the whisked eggs into the heated skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for about 10 seconds, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center.

4

Continue cooking and gently folding the eggs until they're just set but still slightly creamy, about 2-3 minutes total. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.

5

Place the cheese slice on top of the hot eggs in the pan, allowing the residual heat to begin melting it. Set aside.

6

Toast the gluten-free bread slices in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes depending on your appliance settings.

3 min
7

Spread the remaining butter on one or both slices of the toasted bread while still warm. If using, spread mayonnaise or mustard on the other slice.

8

Place the cooked eggs and melted cheese on the bottom slice of bread. If using bacon or sausage, layer it on top of the eggs.

9

Top with the second slice of bread, press down gently, and slice in half diagonally if desired. Serve immediately or wrap tightly in foil or parchment paper for grab-and-go convenience.
