Carnivore Cheesy Bread with Bacon Topping

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (or cheddar cheese)
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese (optional, for added flavor)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 6 strips of bacon (diced and cooked until crispy)
  • 1 tbsp butter or bacon grease (for greasing and brushing)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (optional, to taste)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and grease it lightly with butter or bacon grease.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Dough:
    • In a large mixing bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese (if using), eggs, and salt. Mix well until a sticky dough forms.
  3. Shape the Bread:
    • Place the cheese mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Use your hands or a spatula to flatten and shape it into a rectangular or circular bread shape, about 1/2 inch thick.
  4. Bake the Bread Base:
    • Bake the cheese bread in the preheated oven for 12–15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the center is set.
  5. Add the Bacon Topping:
    • While the bread is baking, cook the diced bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain the bacon on a paper towel.
    • Remove the bread from the oven and sprinkle the crispy bacon pieces evenly on top. Brush the bread with a little melted butter or bacon grease for added flavor.
  6. Broil for Extra Crispiness:
    • Turn on the broiler and broil the bread for 1–2 minutes, or until the bacon is sizzling and the cheese is golden and bubbly. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
  7. Cool and Serve:
    • Let the cheesy bread cool for a few minutes before slicing into sticks or squares.
    • Serve warm as a snack, appetizer, or side dish.

Pro Tips:

  • Extra Flavor: Sprinkle some additional Parmesan cheese on top before broiling for an even cheesier topping.
  • Storage: Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispiness.
  • Dipping Sauce: Pair with melted butter or a cheese sauce for dipping (optional).
