The bread is slathered with room temperature salted butter and placed in a hot saute pan until each side is deliciously golden brown, and the center cheese is completely melted and oozing. You will love how low carb and easy this grilled cheese is.
What Keto bread should I use?
The Keto Loaf Bread recipe is what is pictured below. Some Keto loaves of bread on the market will be a great substitute if you do not feel like making your own bread.
What kind of cheese should I use?
We opted for American cheese because it is the gold standard for grilled cheese and also melts the easiest. If you use other types of cheese, just account for how easily they melt. Harder cheeses like a sharp cheddar will take longer to melt, therefore, will need to be on the lowest heat possible for longer versus a softer cheese like gouda. Feel free to mix up what slice cheeses you use for this as dill Havarti, Swiss cheese, Pepper Jack are all fun options.
Do I have to use butter for the toasted bread?
If dairy is an issue for you, you can use solid ghee or mayo slathered on the bread instead of room temperature butter. Salted butter has the best flavor, though.

Ingredients
- 4 servings keto loaf bread
- 2 ounce american cheese
- 1 ½ tablespoon butter
Instructions
- Slice your Keto bread if using homemade bread. Each slice should be around 1 oz each. Preheat a nonstick small skillet over medium-high heat until hot. In the meantime, take your Keto bread slices and slather them from end to end with room temperature butter. Feel free to use ghee or mayo too.
- Fold both pieces of cheese in half and place each on a slice of bread (non-buttered side). Place another slice of bread on top, buttered side up to make a sandwich.
- Turn the heat down to very low and add the sandwiches to the pan. Allow them to cook for several minutes about 5 minutes per side until the bread is golden brown and delicious and the cheese on the inside is melted. The bread should be crispy.
- At this point, both sides should be golden brown and delicious as well as the center cheese melted.
