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
Directions
Step 1
Heat a medium frying pan over medium heat and add the avocado oil.
Step 2
Once the oil is shimmering but not smoking, gently crack the eggs into the pan. Season with salt and black pepper.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
While the eggs are cooking, heat a separate pan over medium heat and add the butter.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
Place one slice of low-carb bread on a plate, and if using, lay one slice of cheese on top.
Step 7
Layer on the cooked fried eggs, then cover with a slice of tomato and lettuce leaf.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Cut the sandwich in half, serve immediately, and enjoy your low-carb fried egg sandwich!
