Equipment

  • Skillet or frying pan
  • Spatula
  • Plate
  • Paper towels
  • Knife
  • Cutting board

Ingredients

  • 4 pieces Keto-friendly bread slices (120g)
  • 4 tablespoons Natural peanut butter (unsweetened) (60g)
  • 6 slices Thick-cut bacon (180g)
  • 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter (30g)
  • a pinch Sea salt (1g)
  • a pinch Freshly ground black pepper (1g)

Instructions

  • Preheat your skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
  • Lay the bacon slices in the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until they reach your desired level of crispiness. Once cooked, transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
  • While the bacon is cooking, spread 1 tablespoon of peanut butter on one side of each slice of keto-friendly bread.
  • Once the bacon is ready, place three slices of bacon on two of the peanut butter-covered bread slices.
  • In the same skillet, add a tablespoon of unsalted butter. Once melted, place the sandwich in the skillet, peanut butter and bacon side up. Cook for about 2-3 minutes or until the bread is golden brown and toasty.
  • Carefully flip the sandwich over and cook the other side for an additional 2-3 minutes or until equally golden and crispy.
  • Remove the sandwiches from the skillet and allow them to cool for a minute before cutting them in half.
  • Serve immediately while warm and enjoy the rich flavors of this keto-friendly sandwich.

Notes

To reduce the carbohydrate content further, opt for bread that has less than 3g net carbs per slice.
Ensure that the peanut butter is unsweetened and does not contain added sugars or hydrogenated oils to keep it keto-friendly.
Adjust the amount of peanut butter to your preference, but be mindful of the added fats and calories.
For a crunchier texture, toast the bread slices lightly before assembling the sandwich.
