Delicious Low Carb Grilled Cheese Sandwich

Beautiful, right? 🙂 Mmmmm…

This is a low carb bread, of course – only 1 net carb per slice.

I ordered a few more products from The Great Low Carb Bread Company, since I love their Everything Bagels SO much!! I would just stick with the bagels probably, but several people asked about the bread and the hamburger buns, so I decided to test them out so I could report in…

I ordered from Netrition of course (the best prices).

Here’s what I got:

Low Carb “Everything Bread” (2 loaves)
Low Carb Hamburger Buns

FYI, when you order the bread or buns at the links above, they’ll ask if you want thermal packaging (ice packs) and/or faster shipping. I don’t get either of those. I simply use the regular flat rate shipping – and my bread arrives just fine. Yes, even in the heat here in the south lately. I ordered the thermal packaging the first time for an extra $3.99, but honestly – I couldn’t tell a difference in the bread.

Here’s what the Everything Bread looks like up close:

While I really like the Everything Bagels, I decided to try the loaf bread because with a bagel… things fall through the hole. 😛 lol. Like mayonnaise, and tuna salad, peanut butter and Sugar Free Mountain Berry Preserves (my favorite!!), and anything else you try to stuff in a bagel. 🙂

See The IngredientsI’ve tried the loaf bread three different times so far this week. The grilled cheese was by far the BEST! I used a full tablespoon of real butter on each side, stuffed it with colby jack cheese, and browned it up real nice. YUM! I also had toast one morning with my coffee, and another sandwich – but the grilled cheese was definitely tops. 🙂

That may be because my other sandwich was kinda weird. lol. You can see it below. I had leftover roasted brussel sprouts and this loaf of bread, so I thought… why not? Heh. Yes, a toasted roasted brussel sprout sandwich:

It was actually pretty good, believe it or not. The brussel sprouts were roasted in olive oil, with salt & garlic salt. I just heated them up, toasted the bread, added mayo – and called it lunch.

On the side, that’s the “Just The Cheese” White Cheddar Baked Cheese Chips.

They’re pretty good! I really like the CRUNCH. In fact, I ended up putting them ON my sandwich. 🙂 I usually make my own cheese chips, but I decided to try these bagged “chips” out to see if they’re good for a convenience food (when I’m traveling, going out on the boat, or packing a lunch). I like them…

Next test: The Low Carb Hamburger Buns

This is not where I even miss bread, but several people asked about the low carb hamburger buns so I decided to test them out. I actually love a plate of just “meat & greens”. I’ve gotten so used to that, that this really felt like too much food for me. Because I also roasted the brussel sprouts that night and had those on the side:

It’s just a big fat juicy burger with a dash of seasoning, a slice of Borden Natural Cheddar Cheese and some mayo. And a dill pickle. You could stack it mile high with lettuce and all sorts of fun stuff of course, but I decided to keep it simple.

It was good. Would I buy the buns regularly? Probably not. But that’s because I don’t miss bread, not with a plate of meat & greens anyway (like hamburger steak & veggies). I do like the low carb bagels and loaf bread – mostly for something easy to grab in the morning, or for a quick lunch. And that grilled cheese – wowsa! – mmm. I’m having a food flashback. 🙂 🙂 Yes, that was GOOD. Very good.

If you miss a big burger on a bun, these are definitely the buns to get. They’re only 2 net carbs per bun. They’re not huge, but they aren’t small. Just about right really. Unlike regular bread they are quite dense – so very filling. That also means they don’t soak up the juices and get all soggy like regular bread & buns too, which is nice.

I’ll leave you with another shot of that beautiful grilled cheese sandwich. This definitely won me over on the Everything Bread, lol:
