Almond Butter Breakfast Sandwiches

About This Recipe

Waffles made from eggs and almond butter to provide a gluten free, lower carb “bread” for a breakfast sandwich.  These are completely customizable and you can add whatever you like!

Ingredients

• 4 eggs
• ½ cup almond butter (peanut butter works too)
• ½ tsp baking powder
• NOTE: Add whatever you would like to the batter to customize (my favorite is jalapeños and cheddar cheese.)
• ½ lb sliced ham
• 5 eggs
• 5 slices cheddar cheese (thinly sliced)

Instructions

1. In a blender, add 4 eggs, ½ cup of almond butter and ½ tsp of baking powder. Blend until smooth. (It seems strange but almond butter is the correct ingredient, NOT almond flour).
2. For waffles, heat a waffle iron to medium heat. For pancakes, heat a skillet. You will have enough batter for 3-4, 8-inch waffles or 8-10, 3-inch pancakes. Spray the waffle iron or skillet with cooking spray before cooking.
3. Cook the waffles for 5-6 minutes. You know its done when it easily comes out of the waffle iron. The pancakes will take 2-3 minutes each side.
4. Cut the waffles into 4 pieces to serve as your bread for the sandwich.
5. Cut your sliced ham into pieces to fit on the waffle or pancake.
6. The next step is to cook the eggs. If you want nicely shaped eggs like in the picture, crack them into a ramekin and bake at 350°F until they are set. Some people don’t like the idea of meal prepped eggs. If this is you, prep the eggs the morning you plan to eat the meal. It will only take a few minutes.
7. Divide your ingredients evenly between 5 containers.
