A keto chicken BLT!
I started by pouring the keto-baguette soda-bread recipe into a loaf pan. There was a risk in doing this because I knew I might end up with unbaked sections in the bread. This did indeed happen, but only in a couple patches. The final loaf looked like this:
A shot of bread slices taken several hours later:
A wider, fuller shot of the loaf:
Below: I start building the sandwich with a generally mayonnaised and peppered bottom, then some smoked garlic chicken (which tasted a bit like the smoked duck I like to buy):
In the photo below, I've put on the Korean-style bacon, which isn't as fatty as American bacon. I'd cooked the bacon in the microwave, but I should've gone longer by about 60-90 seconds to get that crisp. Despite the lack of crispiness, though, the bacon was still a good addition. Not that you can do without bacon on a BLT, of course.
The downstairs grocery didn't have iceberg lettuce (it usually does), but it did have tiny heads of cabbage, so I shrugged and bought one:
And here's the ensemble:
I wasn't sure how well the bread would hold up, but it held up pretty well, breaking apart only as I got down to the last bite of each sandwich. I want to do this again, but with real American bacon (available at Costco) and iceberg lettuce next time.
All in all, a thumbs up.
Kevin,
