Ingredients:
- 6 slices of bacon
- 4 slices of deli turkey breast
- 4 slices of deli ham
- 2 large eggs
- 4 slices of cheddar cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter or animal fat for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: mayonnaise, mustard, or keto-friendly sauce (optional)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Bacon:
Start by cooking the bacon. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and lay the bacon strips in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess fat.
2. Fry the Eggs:
In the same skillet, using the bacon grease, crack the eggs into the pan and fry them sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Once cooked, set them aside.
3. Cook the Ham and Turkey:
Lightly sear the ham and turkey slices in the same skillet, for about 1-2 minutes per side, just enough to heat them through and give them a slight golden-brown crust.
4. Assembly Layer 1:
On a cutting board or plate, start assembling your carnivore sandwich. Begin with a slice of cheddar cheese as your base layer. Place two slices of ham on top of the cheese, followed by one fried egg.
5. Assembly Layer 2:
Add another slice of cheddar cheese, then layer on the two slices of turkey. Top with the crispy bacon slices.
6. Top Layer:
Finish the sandwich with the final slice of cheddar cheese. You can either serve it open-faced or add another egg on top if you want a bit more protein.
7. Optional Extras:
If you’re in the mood for extra flavor, add a dollop of mayonnaise, mustard, or your favorite keto-friendly sauce between the layers. This will add creaminess to the sandwich without compromising the carnivore style.
8. Serve:
Once assembled, the sandwich is ready to enjoy! You can slice it in half or eat it whole, as it’s sturdy and packed with layers of meat and cheese.
