On days like this one where I work, I mean hike for eight hours straight, I might need a breakfast sandwich to fuel my body for the long day ahead. Sure, you could cruise through the Mcdonald’s drive-through for a sodium-soaked biscuit breakfast sandwich with powdered eggs, Velvetta cheese and is that hard mealy thing a sausage patty? Or you can create your own cloud bread-like keto biscuit at home. Then layer on all those good toppings; fresh avocado, applewood smoked bacon and aged cheddar cheese. Maybe even a poached duck egg.
As the most sought-after hiking guide in southern California, on many winters days, I hike with my tourist guests for eight hours a day. I have to fuel my body before I hit the trail. And yes, it has to be keto. Also, I need cheese. And yes, bacon. Okay and maybe a duck egg. Did you know that duck eggs are high in Omega threes and higher in protein than chicken eggs?
Before I spend most of my day on my feet on some of the most beautiful trails in Big Bear Lake, fueling my body with a keto, gluten-free and high protein breakfast is key. When I know I have fifteen miles of trails to hike on a Saturday, I pack one of these brekkie beauties in my backpack and hit the trail fully fueled.
The key to creating the absolute most delicious and most keto-friendly breakfast sandwich is using good quality bacon and the most delicious sharp cheddar cheese. Secondly, you need to create one hell of a Cloud Bread. But not just any cloud bread, to make one hell of a delicious keto breakfast sandwich you want to add almond flour and just a touch of coconut flour. This will give your cloud bread a bit of a biscuit-like quality. In all the gluten-free baking I have done, I have discovered that almond flour and coconut flour combined is the magic exacta to perfect the best gluten-free flour. There is really no need to buy a twenty-dollar bag of “Gluten-free flour” from Whole Foods full of ingredients you and I can’t pronounce.
