This recipe started as a way to bring sandwiches back into my routine without the carbs. The zucchini and cheddar combo makes the perfect crispy, cheesy “bread” that holds up to any filling you throw at it. It’s quick to make, totally customizable, and somehow feels both indulgent and light at the same time. Once you try it, it’ll be in your rotation for good.

You’ll love this one because it’s the perfect mix of crispy, cheesy, and fresh. It satisfies that sandwich craving but keeps things low-carb and high in protein. You can load it with your favorite fillings, eat it hot or cold, and it always hits the spot.

🥗 Low-carb and satisfying – all the flavor and crunch of a sandwich without the bread.

⏱️ Quick and easy – ready in about 25 minutes from start to finish.

💪 High in protein – packed with cheese, eggs, and lean deli meat for a filling meal.

Cheddar cheese and eggs bring the protein and create the golden, crispy base that holds everything together. Zucchini adds structure and fiber without the carbs, and the deli meat gives it an extra boost of lean protein. Add creamy avocado and crunchy veggies on top for the perfect bite of flavor, texture, and balance.

You can change up the fillings to fit whatever you’re craving. Swap cheddar for mozzarella or provolone for a different flavor, or try smoked turkey, roast beef, or grilled chicken inside. Add hot sauce or pesto for more flavor, or make it vegetarian with grilled halloumi.

This sandwich works on its own but also pairs well with a simple side. Try it with a green salad, roasted veggies, or a handful of baked veggie chips. For something more filling, add a side of soup or serve it with a fried egg for extra protein.

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to two days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer until crisp, then add fresh toppings before eating.
