Keto Ham and Cheese Sliders

keto-ham-and-cheese-sliders

Ham and Cheese Sliders are simple and crowd-pleasing sandwiches great for dinner, lunch, or potlucks.

Ham and melted Swiss cheese topped with a poppy seed butter sauce. For these Ham and Cheese Sliders, you can use Hawaiian sweet rolls or any rolls you on Low Carb diet too.

Make Ham Cheese Sliders

However, do be aware that the almond flour dough can get a bit sticky so use a few oils on your palms to roll into balls. Check out the original recipe here for even extra suggestions on making them.
I am using deli ham and Swiss cheese, however, I also love provolone cheese as an opportunity cheese alternative.

You can pick out any deli meat and cheese combination you enjoy, but when the use of ham be sure to select one which doesn’t have honey or introduced sugar.

INGREDIENTS

  • 24 white dinner rolls
  • 24 pieces of honey ham
  • 24 small slices Swiss cheese
  • 1/3 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/3 cup miracle whip
Poppyseed sauce:
  • 1 teaspoon poppy seeds
  • 1 1/2 Tablespoons yellow mustard
  • 1/2 cup butter, melted
  • 1 Tablespoon minced onion
  • 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce

INSTRUCTIONS

  • In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise and miracle whip. Spread onto both sides of the center of each roll.
  • Place a slice of ham and a slice of Swiss inside of each roll. Close rolls and place them into a large baking dish or heavy cookie sheet. Place very close together.
  • In a medium bowl, whisk together all of the poppy seed sauce ingredients. Pour evenly over all of the sandwiches.
  • You do not have to use all of the sauce! Just use enough to cover the tops. Let sit 10 minutes or until butter sets slightly.
  • Cover with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 12-15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Uncover and cook for 2 additional minutes or until tops are slightly brown and crispy.
  • Serve warm.
  • Note: Sandwiches can be assembled ahead of time. I don’t like to do it more than a day ahead because they can get soggy from the mayo mixture.

Keto Mediterranean Grilled Eggplant

keto griiled eggplant

Get your grill ready because this is my all-time-favorite grilled vegetable recipe.

Eggplant is infinitely better grilled, and this one comes with a simple yet addicting tahini dressing.

The Mediterranean vibes will have you feeling like you’re relaxing along the coast, and we are always up for that. These are best served fresh off the grill when they are still warm.

A little hot sauce served with them is always a hit.

INGREDIENTS

FOR THE EGGPLANT
  • 1/2 c. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp. dried oregano
  • 1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
  • Kosher salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 large eggplants, sliced into 1/4″ rounds
  • 1/4 c. crumbled feta
  • 2 tbsp. freshly chopped parsley
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon

FOR THE TAHINI DRESSING

  • 1/3 c. tahini
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • 2 tbsp. water
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Kosher salt

DIRECTIONS

  1. Make eggplant: Heat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a small bowl, combine oil, oregano, and red pepper flakes. Brush all over eggplants and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Grill eggplants until tender and slightly charred, about 3 minutes per side.
  3. Top grilled eggplants with feta and parsley, then squeeze lemon juice over.
  4. Make tahini dressing: In a medium bowl, whisk together tahini, lemon juice, water, and garlic. Season with salt. If dressing is too thick, add more water, a tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency.
  5. Serve eggplant warm with tahini dressing.

The best low-carb and keto chaffle recipes

Chaffles have taken the low-carb world by storm and no wonder: they’re awesome! Using a very simple base of just cheese and eggs, you can add and adjust for endless flavour combinations, sweet or savoury. Use them on their own or as the vehicle for fillings and toppings. On this page you’ll find everything you need to cook the perfect chaffles.

We have our Basic Chaffle recipe which has almond flour added to provide a bit of additional structure, but you can use just eggs and cheese, such as in our Keto Pizza Chaffles where we used a combination of cheddar and parmesan cheeses.

If you are craving a sweet chaffle, we recommend using neutral tasting mozzarella cheese, but note that because it melts a lot more, you should add a tablespoon of coconut flour to your batter. This helps keep it structured and also adds a natural sweetness.

A simple chaffle calculation is ½ cup of cheese per egg, per chaffle.

Try adding almond flour or coconut flour. Play around with your cheeses. Add fruits, spices, herbs or nuts and let your imagination run wild.

Chaffles can be frozen and re-heated so make a big batch and save for super quick and easy meals.

 

How to make chaffles without a waffle maker

If you don’t own a waffle maker you actually can fry the batter like a pancake in a frying pan or even better, in a grill pan. They will not get all the crispy edges as you will get by using a waffle maker, but they will still taste great.

Heat up a frying pan with butter. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the chaffles feel crispy. Gently flip the waffles to the other side with a spatula. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until done.
