Carnivore Egg Loaf Recipe

This Carnivore Egg Loaf is an easy, protein-packed dish that’s perfect for breakfast or any time of day. It’s simple to make, full of rich flavors, and provides the necessary fats and protein to fuel your carnivore lifestyle.

Ingredients:

• 12 large eggs
• 1/2 cup heavy cream (preferably grass-fed)
• 1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or a cheese of your choice, optional for dairy)
• 1/4 cup beef tallow or butter (for greasing the pan and for added richness)
• 1/2 teaspoon sea salt (or Redmond Real Salt, to taste)
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional, depending on your tolerance)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (optional, if tolerated)
• 1/2 teaspoon onion powder (optional, if tolerated)
• 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional, for extra flavor)
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

Step 1: Preheat the Oven and Prepare the Pan

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). This ensures the oven is hot and ready to bake the egg loaf.

2. Grease the pan: Lightly grease a 9×5-inch loaf pan with beef tallow or butter. You can also line it with parchment paper for easier removal after baking.

Step 2: Mix the Egg Base

1. Whisk the eggs: Crack the 12 eggs into a large mixing bowl. Use a whisk to beat the eggs until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is smooth.

2. Add heavy cream: To make the loaf more creamy and rich, add 1/2 cup heavy cream to the eggs and mix thoroughly. The heavy cream helps create a moist and tender texture.

3. Season: Add sea salt, black pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika (if desired) to the egg mixture. Whisk again to incorporate all the seasonings evenly.

Step 3: Add Cheese (Optional)

1. If you’re using cheese, fold in the 1 cup of shredded cheese into the egg mixture. This adds richness and flavor to the loaf. You can choose any cheese you like, but cheddar or mozzarella works well.

Step 4: Bake the Egg Loaf

1. Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Spread it evenly with a spatula to ensure it bakes uniformly.

2. Bake the loaf in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes or until the center is set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. The top of the loaf should be golden brown.

3. Check for doneness: If needed, add an extra 5 minutes of baking time, but keep an eye on it to avoid over-baking. The texture should be firm but moist.

Step 5: Cool and Serve

1. Cool slightly: Once baked, remove the egg loaf from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes before slicing. This will make it easier to slice and prevent it from falling apart.

2. Serve: Slice the loaf into thick pieces, and serve warm. Garnish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley (optional) for a touch of color and flavor.

Step 6: Enjoy!

This Carnivore Egg Loaf is a fantastic, savory meal for anyone on the carnivore diet. It’s rich, satisfying, and can be enjoyed on its own or paired with other carnivore-friendly sides like crispy bacon or sausage.

Tips:

• Make it ahead: This egg loaf is perfect for meal prep! It stores well in the fridge for up to 4 days, and you can reheat it in the oven or microwave.
• Flavor variations: Add diced cooked bacon, sausage, or even leftover shredded meats for extra protein and flavor.
