It appears that you are prepared to do some work putting a sandwich together. In my household the non-diabetics occasionally eat
https://carbzone.co.uk/collections/bread/products/protein-rich®-bread-250g-long-shelf-life, I have just asked and apparently it is nice tasting (I have not tried myself); interestingly although I have seen re-orders 2 packets are in the cupboard, and have been there for around 2 weeks. So as an aside interesting point, in my household of 4, low carb / Keto has removed the full on bread cravings for everyone.
The mental side of the transition is hard, I really understand. I would consider myself an experienced low carber, but I am weaning myself down from a bowl of mixed low carb nuts a day at the moment, as I am trying to cut down my physical training. Maybe what I am doing at the moment might also help, if you have some prep time, around 10 minutes. I am using a sort of bread, which is a pancake in various ways (I made the below, and I am ham fisted):

This takes minutes to prepare and can be made in advance to go into the fridge for a couple of days.
Process:
If making flatter pancakes put on 2 non stick pans on a low to mid heat
If making deeper pancakes put on 2 non stick pans on a low to mid heat, and max heat oven (you will need pancake rings)
If you are going to use a pancake/ waffle maker put this on at least medium heat
To a mixing bowl:
- Add a quarter of a cup of coconut flour (I use Organic Coconut Flour from the Groovy food company. 16 grams of carbs per 100)
- Add a teaspoon of baking powder
- (if making chocolate version, add tablespoon of cocoa powder (I use Belbake from Lidl, 8.7 grams per 100)
- Add 2 eggs
- Add half a cup of coconut milk (I use Dunns River) or a quarter of a cup of cream cheese (I use Philadelphia original) with a quarter cup of full fat Greek Yogurt or nut milk
- Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract
- Optionally add 2 teaspoons of Baobab (don't worry about this, many haven't come across this super food)
- Optionally add a little sea or Himalayan salt
Whisk until everything is mixed (if you have an electric whisk all the better). The consistency should be similar to yogurt. if your mixture is too thick keep adding a little coconut or nut milk or water. Either add some fat to the pan (anything but vegetable oil), I use a little MCT oil or brush the pancake / waffle maker with fat. Add mixture asap to either pan or pancake / waffle maker, as coconut flour is very absorbent. For the flatter pan fired pancakes turn when bubbles begin to occur. For the deep pancakes add the pan to the oven until the top is firm, remove from oven (make sure you have gloves or a towel), turn the pancake and add a little more fat to finish the cook in around a minute and half.
The total carbs for the entire mixture is around 7 grams with around double the amount of fibre (based on the brands I used). I tagged
