This sandwich is simple yet flavorful, combining the creamy texture of cheese sauce with the freshness of tomato and richness of an egg, all on artisan bread.

Ingredients

• 1 slice artisan bread (consider the portion to keep it low-carb)

Cooking Instructions

1. In a non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

4. Spread the cheese sauce on one side of the toasted bread.
5. Once the egg is cooked, place it on the cheese sauce-covered bread. Top with sliced tomatoes.
6. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add fresh herbs if you have them for extra flavor.

Keto-Friendly Explanation

While artisan bread does contain more carbohydrates than typical keto options, this recipe keeps the overall calorie count lower by using only one slice. The addition of protein from the egg and fats from the cheese sauce helps satisfy hunger without significantly increasing the fat content.
