Our Favorite Keto Sub Sandwich

 Ingredients (for one sandwich):

• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup finely shredded sharp cheddar cheese (plus a couple of small handfuls)
• deli ham
• deli turkey
• mayonnaise
• mustard
• sliced Roma tomato
• sliced yellow onion
• dill pickle slices
• pepper to taste

Directions:

1. Plug in mini waffle maker, so it warms.
2. Mix egg and 1/2 cup of shredded cheese in small bowl.
3. Sprinkle a small handful of shredded cheese on waffle maker.
4. Pour half of egg/cheese mixture on top of shredded cheese and sprinkle with more shredded cheese.
5. Lower lid of waffle maker and cook for approximately 3 minutes 30 seconds. (Sometimes I let it cook a little longer because I like the outside to be extra crispy.)
6. Repeat steps 2-5 to finish making the waffle "bread".
7. After the waffle "bread" has cooled, put all the fixins (as we say down South) between the bread and enjoy!
