Keto BLT Sandwich

Keto BLT Sandwich recipe & content provided by Jordan Pie

While this recipe requires a few more steps than your typical smashed avocado toast, it’s still remarkably easy to make and you could be sitting down to your meal in just 20 minutes or less. Best of all, this upgraded, open-faced Keto BLT Sandwich doesn’t come with the foggy feeling you might get from wheat-based breads.

The essentials for this BLT are my toasted Paleo Coconut Flour Bread topped with sauteed spinach, tomato, avocado, herbs and crispy bacon. However, you can play around with new textures and flavors in your BLT sandwich by adding in homemade guacamole, a lightly fried egg with a runny yolk, or a few slices of raw radish.

To save prep time and avoid the antinutrient oxalates that naturally appear in raw spinach, consider steaming your leaves instead of sauteing them (see “Notes on cooking method” below). You can do this step in a separate pot while you fry your bacon.

Notes on cooking method: Sauteing spinach may still cause leaves to retain their natural oxalates—a type of antinutrient that can cause muscle pain, kidney stones, or thyroid imbalances. To remove more oxalates, lightly steam your raw spinach and drain the cooking water before adding to your recipe.
