You’re going to love the low carb breakfast sandwich that I’m bringing to #SundaySupper this week! With just 4 net carbs this yummy sandwich recipe is a great stand in for those high carb breakfast sandwiches you pick up at the drive through. Eggs, bacon, cheese, chipotle mayonnaise – this sandwich recipe is perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner! You can even freeze a batch of them to have on hand.
For this recipe you’ll need: low carb sandwich bread recipe from Lowcarb-ology, bacon, egg, cheese, mayonnaise, chipotle in adobo, and fresh cilantro.

I’ve never been a fan of breakfast but if this sandwich is on the menu I’ll be there with my plate in hand. I’ll warn you though – this low carb breakfast sandwich may look small but it keeps you feeling full for a long time. I like to eat it when I know I’m going to be busy and likely to skip meals. Seriously, half of one of these is plenty for me.
I just eat the other half because it’s too yummy to stop.
When I made the bread for this I use a wide round coffee cup rather than a mug. I think it’s a better size for one sandwich. If you use the mug then you’ll get two smaller sandwiches – which may be better if you want less calories. Try a few different containers and see what works the best for you.
So, I am one of those crazy people that loves cilantro. I stuffed a bunch of it in this breakfast sandwich but feel free to use lettuce, alfalfa sprouts (another favorite of mine) or leave the green out all together.

I tried out this recipe this weekend and believe me it really turned out to be very tasty. My kids really enjoyed it and all the credit goes to you thank you so much for the recipe.
Hi Marye, Can you clarify the net carbs for the sandwich bread alone? The recipe indicates 3 net carbs, but in one of your replies to a comment about the bread, you say it has Net Carbs 6.1. Something about redoing the recipe template. Thanks!
3 net carbs is correct. That was super old and outdated. 🙂
You managed to get so much good stuff in here!
thanks!
I am a breakfast for supper kind on Ninja Baker so I’m grateful for your recipe. And happy that your sandwich is low-carb AND filling!
🙂 I like breakfast for supper, too!
