Carnivore Cheese Bacon Bread
Ingredients:
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 cup cooked bacon, crumbled (about 6-8 slices)
- 3 large eggs
- ¼ cup cream cheese, softened
- ½ tsp baking powder (optional, for fluffiness)
- ¼ tsp salt
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional for extra flavor)
- 1 tbsp butter (for greasing)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F). Grease a loaf pan with butter or line it with parchment paper.
-
Prepare the Bacon:
- Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat until crispy. Drain the excess fat and crumble the bacon into small pieces. Set aside to cool.
-
Make the Bread Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, whisk the eggs, cream cheese, and baking powder (if using). Mix until smooth and well combined.
- Add the shredded mozzarella cheese, crumbled bacon, garlic powder (if using), salt, and Parmesan cheese (if using). Stir everything together until you have a thick dough-like mixture.
-
Transfer to Loaf Pan:
- Pour the bread mixture into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly.
-
Bake the Bread:
- Place the loaf pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
-
Cool and Serve:
- Remove from the oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes before transferring it to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Once cooled, slice and serve!
Optional Tips:
- You can sprinkle some extra shredded mozzarella or Parmesan cheese on top before baking for a cheesy crust.
- If you want the bread to have a little more flavor, you can add herbs like oregano, thyme, or rosemary.
