Carnivore Skillet Bacon Pizza

Carnivore Skillet Bacon Pizza

Ingredients:

For the Bacon Crust:

• 12 oz (340g) bacon (finely chopped or ground)
• 2 large eggs
• 1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or gouda)
• 1/4 tsp sea salt (optional, depending on the saltiness of the bacon)
• 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional, omit for strict carnivore)

For the Toppings:

• 8 oz ground beef or pork (cooked and crumbled)
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
• 4 slices of cooked bacon (crumbled or chopped)
• 2 large eggs (for topping, optional)
• 1 tbsp grass-fed butter or tallow (for greasing the skillet)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Skillet:

• Heat a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and add the butter or tallow to grease the pan.

2. Make the Bacon Crust:

• In a bowl, mix the finely chopped or ground bacon, eggs, shredded cheese, salt, and black pepper. The mixture should come together into a sticky, thick batter-like consistency.
• Press the bacon mixture evenly into the bottom of the greased skillet, forming a crust.

3. Cook the Bacon Crust:

• Cook the bacon crust in the skillet for 5–7 minutes, until it starts to crisp up and brown on the edges. Use a spatula to gently check the underside of the crust to ensure it’s crisping up without burning. If necessary, lower the heat.

4. Add the Toppings:

• Once the crust is cooked, spread the cooked ground beef or pork evenly over the crust.
• Sprinkle the shredded cheese on top of the meat.
• Crumble the cooked bacon over the cheese.

5. Add Eggs (Optional):

• If you like, crack 2 eggs on top of the pizza, making sure they stay in the center to avoid running over the toppings.

6. Finish Cooking:

• Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and cook for another 5–7 minutes, or until the cheese is fully melted and the eggs are cooked to your preference (soft or hard yolk).

7. Serve:

• Carefully slide the pizza out of the skillet and onto a cutting board. Slice it like a regular pizza and serve hot.

Pro Tips:

• Bacon Crust Texture: If you prefer a thicker, more stable crust, you can add a bit more cheese or even a couple more eggs to the bacon crust mixture.
• Meat Variety: Feel free to mix up the meats by adding cooked sausage, pepperoni, or even ground lamb for a different flavor.
• Reheating: Leftovers can be reheated in a skillet to maintain the crispy bacon crust.
