Ingredients
Scale
For the Cheesy Carnivore Bread:
- 1 ½ cups shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 oz cream cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a loaf pan with parchment paper or grease it well to prevent sticking.
- Melt the Cheeses: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring well between intervals until the cheese mixture is completely melted and smooth.
- Whisk Eggs: In a separate mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until they are well beaten and slightly frothy.
- Combine Cheese and Eggs: Stir the melted cheese mixture into the beaten eggs until thoroughly combined to form a smooth wet mixture.
- Mix Dry Ingredients: In another bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the spices and leavening agent.
- Form Dough: Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet cheese and egg mixture while stirring. Continue mixing until a dough forms. If desired, fold in the grated Parmesan cheese for extra cheesy flavor.
- Prepare Loaf Pan: Pour the dough into the prepared loaf pan and evenly spread it out with a spatula to ensure uniform thickness.
- Smooth Surface: Smooth the top of the dough with a spatula so that it bakes evenly and has a nice crust.
- Bake: Place the loaf pan in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
- Cool in Pan: Remove from oven and let the bread cool in the pan for about 10 minutes to set.
- Cool Completely: Transfer the bread to a wire rack and allow it to cool completely before slicing to prevent crumbling.
- Slice and Serve: Once fully cooled, slice the bread and enjoy as a low-carb snack or meal component.
Notes
- For best results, ensure the cheese is fully melted for better dough consistency.
- You can omit Parmesan cheese if you prefer a milder flavor.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- This bread can be toasted for added texture and flavor.
- Almond flour can be substituted with other low-carb flours like coconut flour but may alter texture and require ingredient adjustment.
