The Best Keto Grilled Cheese Sandwich – Crispy, Gooey & Low-Carb Heaven

 


Step-by-Step Instructions

  1. Prep your bread: Spread butter evenly on one side of each slice. This will become your golden crust.

  2. Assemble: Place cheddar, mozzarella, and cream cheese between the slices, buttered sides out.

  3. Cook low & slow: Heat skillet over medium-low heat. Add sandwich and cook for 3–4 minutes on each side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the cheese is melted and bread is golden brown.

  4. Serve immediately: Slice in half to reveal that gooey center, and watch the cheese stretch in all the right ways!


What to Serve With Your Keto Grilled Cheese

  • Crisp celery sticks or cucumber slices for crunch

  • A side of keto-friendly tomato soup

  • Pickles or olives for a tangy contrast


Tips for the Perfect Sandwich

  • Don’t rush the heat—low and slow is key for melty cheese and golden crust.

  • Let cream cheese soften beforehand for easier spreading.

  • Press gently with spatula, but not too hard—you don’t want all the cheese oozing out.


Storage Instructions

  • Best enjoyed fresh.

  • Can store leftover sandwiches in the fridge for up to 24 hours; reheat in a skillet to restore crispiness.
