Making something called an open faced omelet might sound a bit contradictory. Typically, omelets are egg dishes where you mix in all the ingredients, cook them, and then fold them at the end. With this dish, you skip the folding and instead top it with wilted spinach, fresh avocado and crispy bacon.

Avocado and cheddar are always a winning combination, and with this egg breakfast sandwich, they add the perfect flavor. One of the reasons that this recipe is so low in carbs — just 4 net grams of carbs — is that it doesn’t have any bread. In fact, the round egg pieces are acting as the de facto sandwich buns.

Chaffles made with coconut flour tend to come out soft with a texture of freshly baked white bread, especially if made with cream cheese. Then, by adding vanilla extract and monkfruit sweetener, you end up with something that tastes like a traditional breakfast waffle but it is low carb.

I’ve been making lupin flour pancakes for some time now because they are super fluffy, delicious and only around two grams net carbs per serving of three pancakes. If you’re unfamiliar with lupin flour, it is made from lupin beans. Thanks to the fiber content of lupin beans, a quarter cup of lupin flour has less than one net carb and 12 grams of protein.
