Keto Cabbage Egg Toast#SundayFunday

This Korean Keto Cabbage Egg Toast recipe is not just affordable but very tasty for breakfast or as a main course meal. This is a satisfying, healthy and deliciously filling meal. An absolute Keto /low carb meal.

Serves One
Ingredients
150 Grams Finely Shredded Cabbage
2 Large Eggs
1½ Tablespoons Oats Fiber
½ Teaspoon Mixed seasoning - See My Notes
Salt to taste
Ham slices
Cheese slices
Butter and olive oil required
For The Sauce
1 Tablespoons Mayonnaise
1 Teaspoon Sriracha Sauce

Method

Combine all sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Wash the shredded cabbage twice in sufficient water drain well squeezing to remove as much moisture as you can, keep aside.

Heat a square or tamayoki pan/ skillet with oil or butter over low to medium-low heat.

While pan is heating, in a bowl mix the cabbage, seasoning, salt, egg and oat fiber well. Then add the mixture to the heated pan in an even layer.  

Divide it into two equal toast with a spatula. Cover and cook until lightly golden on the bottom. Use lower heat for a smaller pan since the toast will be thicker. Carefully slide the omelet (uncooked side up) onto a large plate, cover with the skillet, and flip. This ensures the toast will not break apart while flipping. Spread a tad bit of butter on top and all sides. 

Top with cheese and ham slice

Cover it with the cooked/brown side of the other toast. Return the pan on the burner.

Press the top with a spatula so that it is firm throughout and cheese is melts and lightly flip it to brown evenly on both sides. 

Transfer it to a plate and serve immediately, with sauce on the side or drizzled on top. 

My Notes

I used the seasoning that has red chili flakes, pepper powder and mixed herbs.
