🍖 Ingredients
🥩 Meat Mixture
- 1 tbsp Carnivore Crisps butter (or any animal fat)
- 16 oz hot pork sausage, browned
- 8 oz uncured diced ham
- 15 slices chopped pepperoni
🔥 Cook all meats together in the butter, mix well, then set aside to cool slightly.
🥚 Batter Base
- 4–6 eggs, whisked
- ½ cup or more Carnivore Crisps flour (beef & organ blend or your favorite variation)
🌀 Mix the meat mixture into the whisked eggs and Carnivore flour. Stir until well-combined.
🧀 Topping
- Chopped pepper jack cheese (or your favorite cheese)
👨🍳 Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, cook sausage, ham, and pepperoni in butter until browned. Let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, whisk eggs and add Carnivore Crisps flour to create a thick batter.
- Stir in the cooled meat mixture until fully incorporated.
- Pour into silicone cupcake molds (fill ¾ full).
- Top each with pepper jack cheese.
- Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until firm and golden.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from molds.
🧠 Notes
- Use silicone molds for easy removal and no sticking.
- The recipe is flexible: add more flour for a firmer texture or more eggs for fluffiness.
- Let the meat cool before adding to the eggs to avoid scrambling them.
- You can double the batch and freeze extras for meal prep.
💡 Tips
- Swap meats with ground beef, bacon, or shredded chicken to mix things up.
- Use Parmesan or cheddar if pepper jack is too spicy.
- Add a pinch of salt or herbs only if your carnivore approach allows.
- Perfect as breakfast bites, post-workout snacks, or portable lunches.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days or freeze for up to 1 month.
