Carnivore Cream Cheese Bread Recipe
This Carnivore Cream Cheese Bread is a rich, low-carb, and zero-carb bread alternative, perfect for those following a strict carnivore diet. Made with only animal-based ingredients, it’s simple, cheesy, and incredibly satisfying. Whether you’re looking for a base for a sandwich or just something to enjoy on its own, this bread will fit seamlessly into your carnivore lifestyle.
Ingredients:
- 8 oz (226g) cream cheese, softened
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese (or any other cheese of your choice, like cheddar)
- 2 tablespoons butter (melted, optional, for extra richness)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder (optional, for fluffier texture)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan (8×4 inches) with parchment paper or grease it with butter to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Wet Ingredients:
In a medium-sized bowl, add the softened cream cheese. Using a hand mixer or a whisk, blend the cream cheese until smooth and creamy.
Crack the eggs into the bowl with the cream cheese and continue mixing until the eggs are fully incorporated and the mixture is smooth.
3. Add the Cheese and Butter:
Stir in the shredded mozzarella cheese and melted butter (if using). Continue mixing until the cheese is well incorporated and the batter is thick and smooth.
4. Add Dry Ingredients:
If you’re using baking powder for a fluffier texture, add it along with the salt. Mix well to combine all ingredients evenly. If you prefer a denser bread, you can skip the baking powder.
5. Bake the Bread:
Pour the batter into your prepared loaf pan, smoothing the top with a spatula. Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the bread is golden on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
6. Cool and Slice:
Once the bread is done baking, remove it from the oven and let it cool in the pan for about 10 minutes. Afterward, transfer the bread to a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
7. Serve:
Once cooled, slice the bread into thick pieces. It’s perfect for eating on its own or pairing with your favorite carnivore-friendly toppings like butter, more cream cheese, or even slices of bacon!
Tips and Variations:
- Storage: This bread will stay fresh for up to 3 days if stored in an airtight container in the fridge. You can also freeze it for longer storage. Simply slice and freeze individual pieces for easy grabbing!
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to experiment with different cheeses. Cheddar or Parmesan can give a sharper, more savory flavor.
- Make it more indulgent: Top the bread with extra melted butter or serve it with a side of scrambled eggs or meat for a complete carnivore meal.
This Carnivore Cream Cheese Bread is soft, cheesy, and completely carnivore-friendly, making it a great way to add a comforting “bread-like” component to your meals without straying from your diet. Enjoy!
