Keto Waffle Breakfast Sandwich
Both eggs and bacon are keto friendly breakfast options and easy to make, but sometimes you want something a bit more “grab and go.” This keto waffle breakfast sandwich is one of the first uses I found for my low carb waffle recipe. It’s pretty quick to whip up, customizable, and very satisfying. Not to mention it’s pretty darn adorable!
But one of my favorite things about this keto waffle breakfast sandwich is that you can prep some or all of it ahead of time and take it on the go! I tend to stick with classic combinations like bacon or sausage with cheese. You also also mix things up with different meat or veggie fillings like ham or avocado. Another way to up your keto breakfast sandwich game? Add condiments like butter, low carb jam, or sugar free syrup.

Notes
- You can whip up a fried egg for this keto breakfast sandwich if you prefer, either on the stove or on the waffle maker itself.
- You can make the waffles (and fillings) for this low carb waffle breakfast sandwich ahead of time for a quicker start in the morning. You can even prep the whole thing the night before!
- This recipe is designed for the specific mini waffle maker I have, but it should work with larger "sectioned" waffle makers too. Just use a "section" for each component.
- Be careful when adding the egg, as there can be spillage if you add too much/too fast.
Is there a sub for flax meal or can I leave it out?
You can sub with almond flour or leave it out.
