This keto sandwich recipe is easy to make and stuffed to the brim with fresh veggies, creamy avocado, and melted cheese. Made with fluffy low-carb bread, it’s only 3 grams of net carbs.
Just because I run a food blog doesn’t mean I’m above sandwiches. Quite the contrary…
Sandwiches are a staple at home because they’re easy. I mean, you can basically throw the kitchen sink between a few slices of bread and call it a day. When I need a satisfying lunch that goes easy on the carbs, I make keto sandwiches!

Why I love this recipe
- So simple, yet SO good. I’ve found the trick to making the perfect sandwich is ‘less is more,’ which is why I kept this recipe fairly simple and straightforward.
- Easy to customize. The ingredients I listed are merely suggestions. Don’t be afraid to experiment with different proteins, cheeses, or sauces.
- Healthy and filling. Each slice of bread has 2 grams of net carbs, and the filling is full of fiber and healthy fats.

Key ingredients
- Low carb bread. I’ve tried dozens of keto bread brands, and so far, my favorites are the Aldi keto bread and Thin Slim foods. Or, better yet, make your keto bread! You can also try my keto buns or keto rolls.
- Avocado. My preferred healthy fats for sandwiches. For this recipe, I turned avocado into keto guacamole.
- Salad vegetables. I kept it simple with tomato and baby spinach, but cucumber, onions, and peppers are other fantastic low carb options.
- Cheese. Optional, but what good breakfast sandwich doesn’t have cheese?!

How to make keto sandwiches
Step 1- Toast the bread. Slice your bread and lightly toast it.
Step 2- Assemble. Spread the guacamole on one piece of bread, then add the veggies and cheese. Place the second piece on top, slice the sandwich in half, and serve.
Arman’s recipe tips
- Always toast the bread before adding fillings. I’ve found most keto bread varieties tend to taste much better and more ‘bread-like’ once toasted.
- Swap the spread. Keto breads are usually more dense than regular bread, so it’s important to have some fat to add moisture. If you don’t want to use avocado, use keto mayonnaise, cream cheese, or whipped cottage cheese instead.
Low carb sandwich ideas
Like any good sandwich, there are tons of ways to customize them. Here are some options to get you started:
- Roast beef sandwich. Rare roast beef, sliced tomatoes, and hot mustard.
- Salad. Curried egg salad, keto chicken salad, or healthy tuna salad.
- Italian sub sandwich. Deli ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone cheese, lettuce, tomato, onion, mayonnaise, and red wine vinegar.
- Cuban sandwich. Sliced ham, roasted pork, pickles, Swiss cheese, and yellow mustard.
- Keto breakfast sandwich. Over hard eggs, air fryer bacon, and cheddar cheese.
Storage instructions
To store: Sandwiches are best enjoyed fresh, but if needed, they can be stored in an airtight container for up to 1 day in the fridge.
Meal prep: Keep the bread and filling separate, then assemble the sandwich right before you’re ready to serve.
