The Keto Toasted Cheese Sandwich is a tasty low-carb substitute for traditional grilled cheese. We make this sandwich with keto-friendly bread that keeps carbs low while still providing that wonderful crunch, is perfectly golden on the surface, and gooey on the inside. Melted cheddar cheese provides the rich, creamy center, and the buttery crust enhances the flavor. The dish is also quite adaptable; for a variety of flavor twists, add a slice of tomato, change up the cheese, or add herbs. This Keto Toasted Cheese Sandwich demonstrates that maintaining a low-carb lifestyle doesn’t require giving up comfort food.

INGREDIENT NOTES:
KETO BREAD:
- Keto bread is used to make this sandwich, which keeps it low in carbohydrates. Store-bought keto bread with high fiber content significantly reduces net carbohydrates. The bread, which we can prepare with almond flour or coconut flour, works well. Select bread that toasts well and is both soft and robust.
BUTTER:
- Butter gives each bite a deep taste and produces a beautiful, crispy exterior. Unsalted butter works best for sodium control, but we can also use ghee to add depth. It keeps the bread from drying out when toasting.
CHEDDAR CHEESE:
- The strong, acidic flavor of the cheddar cheese balances the bread, which melts nicely. Additionally, you can try provolone for a sharper bite, Gouda for smoothness, or mozzarella for a softer flavor. Cheese mixing gives texture and variation.
BUTTER:
- It adds a hint of acidity and is more resistant to burning than butter. It also helps to achieve a crispier finish by spreading it on the outside instead of butter. This is a common keto-friendly grilled cheese alternative, although optional.
