I’m always on the look out for new ideas on what to eat for lunch. Normally I just bulk cook a huge 5-day casserole and reheat it. However, this week I decided to step back and bit and pay homage to the classic, lunch sandwich! This turned out to be much quicker than whipping up a huge casserole and has infinite flexibility. I used Cucumbers as the faux bread!

Here’s all the ingredients! Surprisingly, I haven’t bought deli meat since I started keto several years ago. It was a bit of a pain to check the carb values since they are in a display at the store but the butcher was super nice and I was able to get meats that all had 1g per serving. Additionally, I wanted a spreadable cheese so I got some boursin! The first step is to cut the Cucumbers in half and then remove the seeds and some of the meat. I used a melon baller to quickly clear out the seeds but you could also use a spoon. Also, if the skin is a bit much for you, you can peel some of it off. I tried both ways and liked them both so I don’t think I would bother peeling the skin off next time. For the main event, I filled one half with the boursin cheese and the other half with meat. I did one slice of ham, london broil and turkey on each sandwich. Then I folded them together and cut them in half. I was shocked how well it looked and tasted! Here’s the finished product all ready for lunch!! One note, I made an entire weeks worth of sandwiches on Sunday but I don’t think I’d do that in the future. I’d probably make them a day or two ahead of time max. They did get a little soggy.
