Carnivore Egg & Bacon Muffins
Ingredients:
- 8 slices of bacon (thick-cut, sugar-free)
- 6 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, omit for strict carnivore)
- 2 tbsp heavy cream (optional for fluffiness)
- 1/4 tsp salt (optional, to taste)
- 1 tbsp butter, beef tallow, or bacon grease (for greasing)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Grease a 6-cup muffin tin with butter, beef tallow, or bacon grease.
- Prepare the Bacon:
- Partially cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat for about 2–3 minutes, just until it starts to render fat and become pliable (do not fully cook).
- Line each muffin cup with a slice of bacon, creating a “bacon ring” around the edges.
- Mix the Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs, optional heavy cream, and salt until smooth.
- If using cheese, mix it into the egg mixture.
- Assemble the Muffins:
- Pour the egg mixture into each bacon-lined muffin cup, filling about 3/4 full.
- Bake the Muffins:
- Place the muffin tin in the oven and bake for 18–20 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the tops are lightly golden.
- Cool and Serve:
- Let the muffins cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
- Serve warm, or store in the fridge for up to 3 days for an easy, reheatable meal.
Pro Tips:
- Add Extra Fat: Drizzle melted butter or bacon grease over the muffins before serving for added flavor and richness.
- Customize: Add diced cooked meat like sausage or ham to the egg mixture for variety.
- Reheating: Warm in the microwave or air fryer for a quick breakfast or snack.
