🧇 Carnivore 2-Ingredient Waffles
A simple, protein-packed recipe that’s perfect for the carnivore diet. With just eggs and cheese, you get golden, crispy waffles on the outside and soft, fluffy texture on the inside—ideal for breakfast, snacks, or even as a bread substitute for savory sandwiches.
📋 Ingredients (Serves 1–2)
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded cheese (mozzarella, cheddar, or a mix; mozzarella gives a milder taste while cheddar makes it richer)
🥄 Instructions
- Preheat your waffle maker.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
- Stir in shredded cheese until well combined.
- Pour the mixture into the waffle maker, spreading evenly.
- Cook for 3–5 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove carefully and let cool slightly before serving.
🍴 Notes
- Mozzarella works best if you prefer a neutral base; cheddar or Parmesan makes it extra savory.
- Can be used like toast or sandwich bread—add bacon, burger patties, or even deli meat in between.
- If your waffle maker tends to stick, spray lightly with animal-fat spray (like tallow spray) or butter.
💡 Tips
- For fluffier waffles, separate the eggs—whip the whites until frothy and fold them in before cooking.
- Add a pinch of salt if using mozzarella (since it’s milder).
- For crispier edges, use a little more cheese.
- Can be made ahead and reheated in a toaster for a quick grab-and-go meal.
🍽️ Servings
- Makes 1–2 waffles (depending on waffle maker size).
- Easily doubled or tripled for meal prep.
