This sandwich ditches traditional bread in favor of high-protein, low-carb alternatives (like egg wraps, almond flour biscuits, or cheese buns). Stuffed with fluffy scrambled eggs, lean protein, and cheese β it’s your new go-to breakfast bomb.

- Bacon or sausage
- Spinach or arugula
- Avocado slices
- Optional hot sauce or keto mayo
- Top with the second bread layer.
π₯ Step 5: Toast or Press (Optional)
