Egg Fast Grilled Cheese Sandwiches

About

Since all egg fast Keto recipes use egg (duh!), it’s pretty easy to make a meal for breakfast during your fasting. It can be a little trickier to find appropriate recipes for your egg fast diet that taste like you’re eating lunch or dinner. That’s why you should save this Keto egg fast grilled cheese recipe for those later meals in the day! Pepper jack and chive “chaffles” are made with just egg and cheese, which you’ll use as your sandwich bread. Chaffles are a combination of waffles and cheese, which can be made in a waffle maker or in a stove top like a pancake. After you’ve made your chaffles, you have simple directions to grill the chaffles in a pan and melt gooey cheddar cheese inside. Of course, you can substitute the cheddar with other full fat cheeses of your choice. Other cheeses you can melt in your grilled cheese are whole-milk mozzarella, provolone, jack cheeses, gouda, or asiago, to name a few. Eat your egg fast grilled cheese made fresh and hot or store the final product in your refrigerator for meal prepping uses.

What Can I Add To My Grilled Cheese?

If you’re using this grilled cheese recipe while on an egg fast, you’re limited to only egg, fat, and cheese as your ingredient choices. Remember, egg fasts shouldn’t last more than a week, so your limited diet is only temporary! If you absolutely must add another ingredient to have a little variety, you may include a small quirt of ketchup or another condiment. You can also add a small amount of shredded lettuce to your grilled cheese; it’s just enough to add texture but not so much to add any carbs to your meal.

How Much Can I Eat In One Meal On Keto Egg Fast?

A single serving of this Keto egg fast recipe includes ⅔ egg, ¼ tablespoon fat, and ½ ounce of cheese. This means you can eat up to 2 grilled cheese sandwiches in one meal to give you just over 1 full egg, ½ tablespoon fat, and 1 ounce cheese. You can also eat 1 grilled cheese sandwich and 1 additional chaffle without the cheese. However, every meal on the egg fast diet may include up to 1 ounce of full fat cheese.

Ingredients

4 large raw egg
2 oz cream cheese
1 dash salt
3 teaspoon coconut oil
3 tsp, shredded pepper jack cheese
1 tsp, cut pieces chives
1 ½ tablespoon butter, unsalted
3 oz cheddar cheese

Instructions

Make the chaffle batter by cracking the eggs into a food processor or powerful blender. Add the cream cheese cut into 1-ounce pieces along with a pinch of salt. Use the pulse button to carefully blend the ingredients until the eggs and cream cheese are broken up. Then, you can turn your appliance on to blend the chaffle batter into a lump-free, frothy liquid. You may need to scrape the batter down with a spatula and blend more than once to complete the batter.
Choose a cast-iron or non-stick skillet to heat on your stove to medium-low heat. Melt ½ teaspoon coconut oil per chaffle you’re cooking in the skillet. Once the oil is heated, pour ¼ cup of batter per chaffle into the skillet. Let the batter slowly spread into a circle. After the chaffle cooks a little, use a spatula to gently fix any thin or misshapen edges. Sprinkle ½ teaspoon shredded pepper jack cheese and a pinch of minced chives over the center of the batter.
Reduce the heat as necessary once you see how quickly your batter is cooking. You may need to use only a low heat setting if you’re cooking just one chaffle at a time. Once the chaffle has turned golden brown on one side and the batter has settled, flip the chaffle over to finish cooking on the other side. Transfer the finished chaffle to a plate to cool, and repeat the cooking steps to finish making all your chaffles. When you’re done, leave the chaffles aside to cool and return your skillet to your stovetop.
Wipe your skillet clean, if necessary, to remove any excess coconut oil. To make one grilled cheese, melt ¼ tablespoon of butter in the skillet over medium-low heat. Place one chaffle down flat in the butter, and sprinkle ½ ounce shredded cheddar over the top. Let the chaffle cook until it’s golden brown on one side, then use a spatula to fold the chaffle in half to create a folded grilled cheese sandwich. Flip the grilled cheese back and forth until it’s grilled on both sides and the cheese is melted. Repeat this step until all the grilled cheese sandwiches are made.
