Carnivore Burger Buns Recipe (Zero Carbs)

Ingredients:

• 2 cups pork rinds (finely crushed, making “pork rind flour”)

• 2 large eggs

• 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (optional, if dairy is allowed on your carnivore diet)

• 1/4 cup beef tallow or unsalted butter (melted)

• 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, to help the buns rise a bit)

• Pinch of salt (optional, to taste)

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

2. Prepare Pork Rind Flour:

   • Crush the pork rinds until they’re finely ground, almost like a powder. You can use a food processor, or if you don’t have one, just place them in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.

3. Mix Wet Ingredients:

   • In a large mixing bowl, whisk together the 2 eggs, melted beef tallow (or butter), and shredded mozzarella cheese (if using). Mix well.

4. Add the Dry Ingredients:

   • Add the pork rind flour, baking powder, and salt (if using) to the wet ingredients. Stir everything together until a thick dough forms. It should hold together and be somewhat sticky but firm enough to shape.

5. Shape the Buns:

   • Divide the dough into 4-6 portions, depending on how big you want your buns. Roll each portion into a ball, then gently flatten it into a round bun shape, about 1 inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

6. Bake:

   • Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-18 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown on top and firm to the touch. You can flip them halfway through if you want them more even on both sides, but it’s not necessary.

7. Cool:

   • Once they’re done, remove the buns from the oven and let them cool slightly on a wire rack before slicing them in half.

8. Assemble Your Burger:

   • Once your carnivore burger buns have cooled enough to handle, you can slice them and use them for your burger! These buns should hold together well and support your juicy burger patty.

Pro Tips:

• Flavor Options: If you tolerate dairy, cheddar or Parmesan cheese can be swapped for mozzarella for a different flavor.

• Texture: Pork rinds are the key here to create a “flour” that mimics bread, so make sure they’re finely crushed.

• Resting Time: Let the buns rest a bit after baking so they can firm up and be easier to slice.

Serving Ideas:

• Use these buns to make carnivore burgers with bacon, cheese, and your favorite protein.

• No bun needed? You can also serve these as savory snacks or use them for breakfast sandwiches!
