Low Carb Breakfast Sandwich filled with fluffy eggs folded with ham and melted cheese! Serve a crowd or wrap up for a grab and go meal!
You guys, for almost three weeks I was without a hard core schedule (except for our anniversary trip to Hawaii when we had to adhere to a flight schedule). It was heavenly!
I stayed up past midnight on most evenings surfing the web or watched This is Us episodes. I painted my nails a burgundy color, added glitter polish, then lounged as I admired my work so I wouldn’t smudge the polish.
AND I slept in and didn’t roll out of bed until 9 in the morning most days. THAT is a break guys!
Now I’m back to my regular schedule – out of the house by 7ish in the morning, and back by 6 or 7ish in the evening depending on when I go to the gym.
It’s a long day, but I’m cool with it because I really like my new job, and if I prep meals in advance and make food like this high protein low carb breakfast I feel prepared to tackle the day, and more importantly I never get hangry.
For the rolls I used my Low Carb Rolls with Everything Seeds, which are only about 2 carbs each. I didn’t use the popover pan. Instead, I shaped 7 rolls in a circle and baked them right next to each other. I also left off the seeds in this batch, but will probably add them next time.
Once cooked the rolls were glued side by side making it easy to split the tops off in one cutting swoop. It was also easy to add the egg and ham filling making all the sandwiches at once.
These are delicious with melted cheese and if you aren’t serving these breakfast sandwiches right away, then wrap them up for a grab and go meal!

Ok…These are amazing! My boyfriend is trying real hard to stick to a low carb diet and his favorite breakfast is ham and egg sandwiches! I clicked over to check out the low carb roll recipe as well and I’m definitely these for him! What’s psyllium husk powder? I’m guessing I’ll find it in the specialty baking section with all the Bob’s Red Mill stuff?
Sandra Shaffer
This will be a great meal for your boyfriend! psyllium is a spongy fiber that helps fill you up! Bob’s Red mill probably carries it, but it is hard to find it in grocery stores. I picked up some from Whole Foods. Vitamin shops also carries it.

I love sandwiches, but the high carbs are just not good for anyone. These looks so good. We get in breakfast ruts, so this will be wonderful to jazz it up a but. Thanks.
