Bypass the bread in favor of a low carb (and keto-friendly!) alternative with this quick and easily customizable recipe for Melted Cheese Sandwich Wraps.
Breaking News: Nearly 13 years after launching Just a Taste, the words “keto” and “low carb” have made their debut. I know, I know. I’m just as shocked as you are, but sometimes we all need to pushed outside our (culinary) comfort zones.
We have the latest TikTok viral recipe craze to thank for this oh-so-cheesy bread substitute, and the setup couldn’t be simpler.
Arrange four slices of your cheese of choice (check out the recipe below for recommendations on what works best) on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Pop the baking sheet in the oven until the cheese begins to bubble and brown lightly around the edges. Then it’s time to get creative with your sandwich toppings of choice, from all the deli meats to bacon to lettuce, tomato, avocado, and the list goes on… and on… and on!
Ingredients
- 4 slices cheese, such as cheddar or Colby-Jack (See Kelly's Note)
- Assorted sandwich fillings of choice
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Arrange the four cheese slices on the parchment paper so that they form a large square but are not overlapping.
- Bake the cheese until it is bubbling and slightly toasted around the edges, about 8 minutes.
- Remove the cheese from the oven, let it cool for 2 minutes, then add your sandwich fillings of choice to the bottom third of the square. Beginning at the bottom, tightly roll the cheese up and over the fillings. Using a serrated knife, slice the wrap in half and serve immediately.
Kelly's Note:
- Cheddar and Colby-Jack work best in this recipe because they melt consistently and do not get too hard once they cool.

My first try at this resulted in a wonderfully-“delish” wrap! I used Colby-Jack ‘squares’ baked seven minutes in my 350º oven. I ‘wrapped’ sliced avocado, a Kosher Dill pickle slice, a thin slice of corned beef and a piece of romaine lettuce, with a little dressing. Might consider a slight touch of seasoning next time, but this first try was awesome! Thanks for this great recipe idea!!!
Best keto sandwich I have found.can this be made in the morning for lunch at noon.
Thank you.
I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, Jacqueline!
Please check your calorie count. Cheese slices alone are at minimum 100 cals each.
Thanks for catching that, Sally. I’ve updated the estimated nutritional info, however, the calories will vary greatly depending on the fillings.
I have been GF since September 2022 and had yet to find a wrap that didn’t have a strange texture. Tried this yesterday! Amazing! I’m excited to eat wraps again!!!
Woohoo! I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Laurie!
Delicious. Been wanting to try cheese wraps for awhile. Now that I did will be having more regularly!
I put turkey slices with a little mustard, avocado, red pepper and green onion. So good!

WOW! I’m thrilled you’ve been enjoying the wraps, Dorothy!
Mmmmm Kelly. I made it as a pizza just a little pizza sauce on the cheeze little pieces of coloured peppers and onions two pineapple pieces. It was very good. I made 6. You can use which ever ingredients you want.
And the others it was bbq sauce just brushed on the melted cheeze with pepperoni and bacon pieces and mushrooms. Always cut in such small pieces. I call it the Special Kelly mini pizzas.
I tried fruits inside the cheeze, blueberries, strawberries, peaches. I made Special Kelly fruit cheeze egg roll bigger so we can taste it. 4 pieces or more cheeze to melt. I even cut bananas and apples and put it on top of the egg roll with cool whip or ice cream and cinnamon. I used mint leaves on top to decorate or any kind of flowers that are eatable. A little bit or more of maple syrup on top it gives a delicious taste. I made 3 but 12 inches long.
Be sure to make severals because they go fast or make them longer. Inventions of this recipe is unlimited. We love cheeze so it’s a good idea Kelly. Thank you so much.
Love this! I’m so thrilled you’ve been enjoying the recipe, JoJo!
This is genius! I made this for lunch today using pepper jack cheese, ham, lettuce, mayo, and tomato. SO GOOD!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the recipe, Laura!
