Keto waffled toasted sandwiches

During the week our mornings and evenings are very busy, so we keep it simple but delicious. These waffles we make in minutes and you can add whatever sandwich ingredients you desire.  I chose ham & cheese and ham, cheese & tomato. 

Great way to make it a toasted... is to add it back into the waffle maker after adding the ham and cheese. It heats it up and melts the cheese.

You have to try it!

Makes 2 square waffles

Ingredients:

2 eggs

2 tablespoons of coconut flour

2 tablespoons of milk

1/2 teaspoon of baking powder

Directions:

Add all of the ingredients to a bowl and mix using a whisk ( or beater ). Heat up your waffle iron and spray with nonstick spray. Pour in the batter and cook in the waffle iron until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the iron, make your sandwich adding whatever ingredients you like, then put it back into the waffle iron for a minute or so.
