Keto Gourmet Hotdog (Chef Keto)

Instructions

1. 1

   Make the almond-flax bun batter:

2. 2

   In a bowl combine almond flour, ground flaxseed, baking powder, salt, pepper, and garlic powder. Stir in Parmesan if using.

3. 3

   Whisk egg with melted butter and add to dry ingredients. Mix to form a thick dough; add up to 1 tbsp water if too dry. Dough should be spreadable but hold shape.

4. 4

   Shape and cook the buns:

5. 5

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low. Divide dough into two equal portions. Shape each into a hotdog-bun form about the size of your sausage (flattened oval with a small trough).

6. 6

   Cook 3–4 minutes per side until golden and set. Reduce heat if browning too fast. Alternatively, bake at 350°F (175°C) on parchment for 12–15 minutes.

7. 7

   Prepare sausages:

8. 8

   In a separate skillet, heat remaining oil over medium. Cook sausages 6–8 minutes, turning, until browned and cooked through (internal temp 160°F/71°C for pork/beef if desired). For extra crispness, finish under broiler 1–2 minutes.

9. 9

   Make mustard slaw:

10. 10

    Toss shredded cabbage with mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, pinch of salt and pepper. Adjust tanginess to taste.

11. 11

    Assemble:

12. 12

    Place sausage into almond-flax bun, top with mustard slaw and optional toppings (pickles, avocado, chives, sugar-free ketchup).

13. 13

    Serve hot.

14. 14

    Savory, nutty buns with a toasty almond note; juicy, well-seasoned sausage; bright, tangy mustard slaw for contrast and freshness.

15. 15

    Low-carb almond and flax-based bun replaces carb-heavy bread. Full-fat condiments and sausages provide fats and protein while keeping net carbs minimal. Suitable for keto macros when using sugar-free toppings and moderate portioning.
