Carnivore Breakfast Sandwich Recipe
This Carnivore Breakfast Sandwich is a satisfying and filling meal packed with protein and healthy fats. Made with bacon, eggs, and rich, melty cheese, it’s the perfect low-carb, high-fat breakfast to keep you energized and full throughout the morning—without any bread or carbs.
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs (preferably pastured)
- 4 slices of bacon (or more, depending on your preference)
- 2 slices of cheese (cheddar, Swiss, or your favorite, preferably full-fat)
- 2 tbsp butter (for cooking and to add richness)
- 1/2 avocado (optional, for added fat and creaminess)
- Sea salt (to taste)
- Freshly cracked black pepper (optional)
- 1 tbsp beef tallow or bacon fat (optional, for extra fat and flavor)
Instructions:
- Cook the Bacon:
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the bacon slices. Cook the bacon for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until crispy and golden brown.
- Once done, remove the bacon from the skillet and place it on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess fat. Leave the rendered bacon fat in the pan for extra flavor.
- Cook the Eggs:
- In the same skillet, add 1 tbsp of butter (and beef tallow or bacon fat if you want extra richness). Let it melt over medium-low heat.
- Crack the 2 eggs into the skillet and season with sea salt and a little black pepper. Cook the eggs to your preference: sunny-side-up (about 2-3 minutes), over-easy (flip after 1-2 minutes), or well-done (cook longer).
- If you like the eggs more set, you can cover the skillet with a lid to cook the top of the eggs while keeping them moist.
- Melt the Cheese:
- Once the eggs are cooked, place a slice of cheese on each egg and let it melt for about 30 seconds to 1 minute, creating a creamy, gooey layer over the eggs.
- Assemble the Sandwich:
- To assemble, place one slice of crispy bacon on top of one egg with melted cheese. Add another slice of bacon on the other side and top with the second egg and cheese slice.
- Optionally, you can add half an avocado sliced thinly to increase the fat content and add creaminess to the sandwich.
- Serve:
- Serve your carnivore breakfast sandwich immediately, and enjoy the rich flavors and satisfying textures of bacon, egg, and cheese!
Tips:
- For a more indulgent version, you can melt extra butter on top of the sandwich just before serving.
- You can make this sandwich with other meats like sausage or ham if you prefer.
This Carnivore Breakfast Sandwich is an easy and delicious meal that keeps you full, nourished, and energized—perfect for anyone looking to stick to a meat-based, low-carb lifestyle. Enjoy!
