What it is
A savory, finely ground meatloaf (traditionally pork, beef, and bacon) baked until it forms a crispy brown crust, often served with a fried egg. Typically eaten in a bread roll or with potato salad, which must be avoided for keto.

How to make it keto
Request no bread roll (Semmel) or potato salad. Ask for plain mustard instead of sweet Bavarian mustard (süßer Senf). Verify no significant fillers (e.g., flour, breadcrumbs) in the Leberkäse mix itself (traditionally minimal if any for binding).
Say this to the waiter (German)
Leberkäse mit Spiegelei, bitte. Ohne Semmel oder Kartoffelsalat. Nur einfacher Senf, kein süßer Senf. Enthält der Leberkäse selbst Mehl oder Paniermehl als Füllstoff?
Leberkäse with Spiegelei, please. No Semmel or potato salad. Plain mustard, not sweet Bavarian. Does the Leberkäse itself contain significant flour or breadcrumb fillers?
Watch out for
Sweet mustard (sugar), potato salad (potatoes, sugar in dressing), potential minimal fillers in meatloaf (rare for authentic Leberkäse).
