🥚🧈 Carnivore Mug Cake (Ready in 2 Minutes)

🧾 Ingredients:

  • 1 egg
  • 1 tbsp butter (plus more for greasing)
  • 1 tbsp cream cheese OR mascarpone (optional, for creaminess)
  • 1 tbsp unflavored collagen powder or whey isolate (optional for texture/protein boost)
  • Pinch of salt
  • Optional (if relaxed carnivore):
    • 1–2 drops vanilla extract
    • Few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit
    • 1 tsp grated Parmesan or shredded mozzarella (yes, it works!)

🔥 Instructions:

  1. Grease a Mug:
    • Use butter or beef tallow to lightly coat the inside of a microwave-safe mug.
  2. Mix:
    • In a small bowl, whisk the egg, softened butter, and cream cheese until smooth.
    • Stir in collagen/whey if using. Add a pinch of salt.
    • Mix until well combined — batter should be thick but pourable.
  3. Microwave:
    • Pour into the greased mug.
    • Microwave on high for 60–75 seconds. Check doneness — it should puff up and set but still be moist.
  4. Cool Slightly & Serve:
    • Let it rest for 1 minute.
    • Eat directly from the mug or invert it onto a plate.
    • Top with whipped cream (from heavy cream) or a dollop of mascarpone if desired.

🧈 Variations:

  • Cheesecake Style: Use 2 tbsp cream cheese and no collagen; top with whipped cream.
  • Savory Version: Skip any sweetener or vanilla, and add a sprinkle of salt and cheese for a cheesy “bread-like” mug cake.
  • Keto-carnivore twist: Add a bit of cocoa powder (if you’re flexible).
