Carnivore Crustless Bacon & Egg Pie Recipe
Ingredients:
-
6 large eggs
-
6-8 slices of bacon (or more if you love bacon!)
-
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite cheese)
-
½ cup heavy cream (optional for extra richness)
-
2 tbsp unsalted butter (for greasing the pan)
-
Salt and pepper, to taste
-
Optional: 1 tsp garlic powder or onion powder (if you’re not strictly carnivore)
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven:
-
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9-inch pie dish or a similar-sized baking dish with butter or oil to prevent sticking.
-
-
Cook the Bacon:
-
In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they’re crispy. Once done, transfer the bacon to a paper towel to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop or crumble the bacon into small pieces.
-
-
Prepare the Egg Mixture:
-
In a large bowl, crack the 6 eggs and whisk them together until fully beaten. Add the heavy cream (if using), salt, pepper, and any optional seasonings (like garlic powder or onion powder). Stir in the shredded cheese and mix until everything is combined.
-
-
Assemble the Pie:
-
Scatter the crumbled bacon evenly in the bottom of the prepared pie dish. Then pour the egg and cheese mixture over the bacon.
-
-
Bake the Pie:
-
Place the pie dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pie is set and lightly golden on top. The center should no longer be jiggly, and a toothpick inserted should come out clean.
-
-
Cool and Serve:
-
Let the pie cool for a few minutes before slicing. This will allow the eggs to firm up and make it easier to cut.
-
Tips:
-
Cheese: You can adjust the cheese to your liking—cheddar and mozzarella work great, but you can also try goat cheese or a sharper cheese like parmesan for a different flavor.
-
Bacon: If you’re not a fan of bacon, you can substitute with cooked sausage or ground beef for a different twist. Just be sure to cook it before adding it to the pie.
-
Seasoning: Feel free to add other carnivore-friendly seasonings like smoked paprika, or herbs like rosemary if you like a little extra flavor.
