Carnivore Cheese Spread (Zero Carb)

🧀 Carnivore Cheese Spread (Zero Carb)

Yields: About 1 cup
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Chill Time (optional): 30 minutes for firm texture

---

Ingredients:

• 4 oz cream cheese (full-fat, softened)

• ½ cup shredded hard cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan — aged = zero carbs)

• 2 tbsp butter (softened) or bacon fat for a smoky twist

• 1 tbsp sour cream or heavy cream (optional, for whipped texture)

• Pinch of salt (if needed)

🔥 Optional Add-ins (still carnivore-friendly):

• Crumbled bacon

• Grated hard-boiled egg

• Shredded roast chicken or salmon

• Dash of garlic powder (if you’re keto-flexible)

---

Instructions:

1. Soften Base Ingredients:
   Let cream cheese and butter sit at room temp until soft. This makes blending easier and the spread smoother.

2. Mix It All Together:
   In a small bowl, combine:

   • Cream cheese

   • Shredded cheese

   • Butter (or bacon fat)

   • (Optional) Sour cream or cream
     Use a fork or hand mixer to blend until smooth and fluffy.

3. Taste & Adjust:
   Add salt if needed (especially if using unsalted butter). Stir in any optional meats or extras now.

4. Chill (Optional):
   For a firmer spread, chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
   For a whipped dip-like texture, serve immediately.
