INGREDIENT NOTES:

KETO BREAD:

• We have to choose bread with under 5g net carbs per slice, and we can use either store-bought or homemade. The keto bread is made with consumption of almond and coconut flour.

AVOCADO:

• We have to use ripe avocadoes so we can easily mash or slice the avocadoes and it adds the creamy texture in these sandwiches and it also adds fat content.

TOMATO:

• We have to add firm and ripe tomatoes like Roma or vine-ripened tomatoes, as they have less moisture, which prevents the sandwich from getting soggy.

MOZZARELLA CHEESE:

• We have to use fresh cheese to add to the sandwich because fresh mozzarella cheese melts greatly in the sandwich so we have to avoid shredded cheese because it contains anti-caking agents.

BUTTER:

• We have to use unsalted butter to make this sandwich, so we can adjust the amount as we like to add; we can also try adding garlic herb butter or ghee.
