Your family will literally dig into this meal! This keto viral pull-apart sandwich is filled with ham and cheese baked in a loaf of keto bread.
Viral Pull-Apart Sandwich
Bring the fun back to cooking! There’s a reason that this recipe went viral on social media.
Every slice of bread is crammed with ham, cheese, garlic, and mustard. Then, it’s baked to perfection, with all the cheese melting and becoming perfectly gooey.
You’ll get the perfect cheese pull every single time. In fact, it’s the cheese that makes this sandwich so incredible!
I used a combination of two types of cheese – swiss and mozzarella. The swiss cheese has the perfect flavor to match the ham and the mild-flavored mozzarella gives it that iconic cheese pull that everyone loves.
Keto Pull-Apart Sandwich
This recipe makes 8 servings, and each serving is 4 grams net carbs. The secret to keeping the carb count low is use your favorite kind of low-carb bread.
What’s the best kind of keto-friendly bread? Only you can answer that because each brand is so different.
This recipe does best if you use bread with thick slices. Some brands of keto bread are sliced really thin, that way they can say there are only a few carbs in each slice, but the secret is that each slice is half the size of normal bread.
Oroweat has a seeded bread that’s high in healthy fats because it’s made with both flaxseed and chia seeds.
Pull-Apart Ham and Cheese Bread
If you’re craving a ham and swiss sandwich, bake this instead. It’s the ultimate ham and swiss sandwich – way better than a coldcut!
Just be careful with the kind of ham that you use. Don’t make it with a maple or honey ham.
Instead, use a deli ham that’s savory and unsweetened. I also used Dijon mustard in between each slice.
This is another place where you can be creative and customize it. If you don’t like mustard, then don’t use it at all.
Have fun and use different types of mustard. For some heat, use spicy brown mustard.
Baked Sandwiches
Bake the sandwiches at 400F for only 15 minutes. It doesn’t take long!
Make the sandwiches just long enough for the ham to get nice and hot and for the cheese to melt. You can make them in the air fryer, too!
This works best if you have a larger air fryer because the entire loaf of bread needs to fit into the air fryer basket. Then, air fry the sandwiches at 400F for 10 minutes.
What To Eat With Sandwiches
The keto viral pull-apart sandwiches taste delicious with any of your favorite sides or salads.
Do you like seafood? Then make a bowl of keto shrimp egg salad. Do you like dips? Then make some keto cucumber crack dip with keto zero net carb chips.
The sandwiches will also taste amazing with some keto popper shrimp stuffed peppers and keto dill pickle chicken fritters.
