Ingredients
- 2 slices Low-carb bread
- 100 grams Kashar cheese (or low-carb shredded cheese)

- 50 grams Sucuk (Turkish sausage) or a low-carb sausage alternative
- 2 slices Tomato slices
- 2 slices Pickles (optional)
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Preheat a sandwich press or a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 2
Slice the low-carb bread if not pre-sliced, ensuring each slice is of an even thickness.
Step 3
Spread the butter evenly on the outer sides of both slices of bread.
Step 4
On one unbuttered side of a bread slice, layer the Kashar cheese evenly to cover the surface.

Add thinly sliced sucuk (or sausage) over the cheese, followed by tomato slices. Sprinkle paprika, salt, and black pepper for flavor. Add pickles if desired.
Step 6
Top the filling with the remaining slice of bread, ensuring the buttered side is facing outward.
