Low-Carb Oopsie Roll Italian Sandwich

These keto Oopsie Rolls make the perfect bun for low-carb sandwiches! This quick recipe is perfect for any Italian sandwich fanatic since it’s packed with ham, pepperoni, and salami!

Don’t forget the cheese and peppers. If you’d like to make this a hot Italian sandwich, you add the ham and cheese topping and then broil for 1 to 2 minutes until it starts to melt, before adding the remaining toppings.

This is a great option for your lunchbox especially if you're short on time. The rolls can be baked in advance and you can double the batch to have healthy lunch options for the whole week. You really can’t go wrong with these low-carb rolls though so feel free to make whatever sandwich your stomach desires!

Step-by-step

1. Preheat the oven to 175 °C/ 350 °F (conventional), or 155 °C/ 310 °F (fan assisted) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In two medium bowls separate the egg whites and yolks. With an electric hand mixer, beat the egg whites with the cream of tartar until firm peaks form. Add the cream cheese to the bowl with the yolks and salt, beat until smooth.

3. Gently fold the egg white mixture and egg yolk mixture together.

   

4. Place 6 rounds of the batter onto the baking sheet and bake for 25 to 30 minutes until golden.

   

5. To make the dressing, place the mayonnaise, Italian seasoning, and red wine vinegar in a small bowl and mix until combined.

   

6. To assemble, divide the sandwich fillings between the three oopsie roll sandwiches and serve immediately. The oopsie rolls can be stored at room temperature for a day, or in the fridge for up to 5 days.
