Carnivore Cheese Buns Recipe

Ingredients:

  • 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese (full-fat)
  • 2 oz cream cheese (softened)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional for added flavor)
  • 1/4 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper (optional for a slight kick)
  • 1 tsp baking powder (make sure it’s a zero-carb version like aluminum-free)

Instructions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:

    • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone mat for easy cleanup.
  2. Prepare the Cheese Mixture:

    • In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese together. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the cheeses are fully melted and combined into a smooth, gooey mixture.
  3. Mix the Ingredients:

    • In a separate large bowl, whisk together the eggs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
    • Slowly add the melted cheese mixture to the egg mixture, stirring gently to combine.
    • Add the baking powder and mix well to ensure everything is evenly incorporated. The dough should be soft but slightly sticky.
  4. Shape the Buns:

    • Using your hands or a spoon, divide the dough into small portions (about 4-6 buns). Roll each portion into a ball or shape them into small discs, depending on your preference.
    • Place the shaped buns onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Bake the Buns:

    • Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes or until the buns turn golden brown and firm up on the outside.
  6. Cool and Serve:

    • Allow the cheese buns to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet. They’ll firm up further as they cool.
    • Serve warm with your favorite carnivore-friendly dish, such as a juicy steak, grilled chicken, or as a snack.

Serving Suggestions:

These cheese buns are delicious on their own or can be used as a bun replacement for burgers, sandwiches, or even as a side with your favorite meat dishes. They’re crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, giving you a satisfying texture without any carbs.

Storage:

  • Refrigerate any leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving for the best texture.

Enjoy these zero-carb cheese buns as part of your carnivore diet! They’re cheesy, easy to make, and a perfect carb-free bread alternative.
