Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon avocado oil or olive oil
- 2 slices low-carb bread
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 slices cheese (cheddar or your choice, optional)
- 1 slice tomato
- 1 piece lettuce leaf
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Once the oil is shimmering but not smoking, gently crack the eggs into the pan. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cook the eggs for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set and the edges start to crisp. Flip the eggs if desired and cook for another minute to have a more well-cooked yolk, or leave unflipped for a runnier yolk.
While the eggs are cooking, heat a separate pan over medium heat and add the butter.
Once the butter is melted, add the low-carb bread slices to the pan and toast until golden brown, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Place one slice of low-carb bread on a plate, and if using, lay one slice of cheese on top.
Layer on the cooked fried eggs, then cover with a slice of tomato and lettuce leaf.
Top with the second piece of bread, and optionally, you can melt the second slice of cheese on top of the egg before placing the final bread slice.
Cut the sandwich in half, serve immediately, and enjoy your low-carb fried egg sandwich!
