Instructions:

  1. Assemble the Sandwich:
    • Spread a thin layer of mayonnaise on one side of each slice of keto bread (if desired).
    • Layer the turkey, ham, and cheese between the slices of bread, ensuring the fillings are evenly distributed.
  2. Prepare the Batter:
    • In a shallow bowl, whisk together the egg, heavy cream, almond flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Coat the Sandwich:
    • Dip the entire sandwich into the batter, ensuring all sides are thoroughly coated. Let the bread soak up some of the mixture for an extra rich texture.
  4. Cook the Sandwich:
    • Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
    • Place the battered sandwich in the skillet and cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and the cheese has melted. Use a spatula to press down gently as it cooks.
  5. Serve:
    • Transfer the sandwich to a plate, slice it in half, and dust with powdered erythritol if desired.
    • Serve with a side of sugar-free jam for dipping.

Tips:

  • Keto Bread Options: You can use store-bought keto bread or make your own using almond or coconut flour.
  • Cheese Choices: Swiss cheese is traditional, but feel free to use cheddar, Gouda, or any melty cheese you love.
  • Customize Fillings: Add cooked bacon, spinach, or avocado for an extra twist.
