Salt and pepper to taste
-
1 tsp garlic powder (optional if strict carnivore)

1 tsp onion powder (optional)
“Noodle” Layer (Egg-Cheese Sheets):
-
4 large eggs
-
2 oz cream cheese
-
½ cup grated Parmesan

1 cup shredded mozzarella
Cheese Filling:
-
1½ cups ricotta cheese

1 egg

½ cup grated Parmesan

Salt to taste
Topping:
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella

¼ cup Parmesan
🍳 Instructions:
Step 1: Make the “Noodle” Sheets
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a bowl, blend eggs, cream cheese, Parmesan, and mozzarella until smooth.
-
Pour the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet and spread into a thin layer (about ¼ inch).
-
Bake for 10-12 minutes until firm. Let it cool, then cut into lasagna-sized sheets.
Step 2: Cook the Meats
-
In a large skillet, cook chopped bacon until crispy. Remove and set aside, leaving fat in the pan.
-
Add ground beef and pork to the pan. Cook until browned. Season with salt, pepper, garlic, and onion powder if using.
-
Drain excess fat if needed, then mix in cooked bacon. Set aside.
Step 3: Prepare the Cheese Mixture
-
Mix ricotta, egg, mozzarella, Parmesan, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until combined.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna
In a greased 9×9 or 9×13 baking dish:
-
Layer egg-cheese “noodle” sheet on bottom.
-
Spread ⅓ of the meat mixture.
-
Add ⅓ of the cheese filling.
-
Repeat layers until all ingredients are used up, ending with meat and cheese.
-
Top with shredded mozzarella and Parmesan.
Step 5: Bake
-
Cover with foil and bake at 375°F (190°C) for 30 minutes.
-
Remove foil and broil for 5-10 minutes until cheese is golden and bubbly.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let rest for 10 minutes before slicing. This helps it set.
🔥 Optional Add-ins (if you’re flexible carnivore or keto):
-
Pepperoni or pancetta between layers
-
Bone marrow bits or liver for added nutrients
-
A dash of heavy cream in the cheese layer for richness
