Carnivore Zero Carb Egg Bread

Table of Contents

Ingredients:

6 large eggs (preferably pasture-raised for extra nutrition)
3 tbsp unsalted butter (grass-fed for best flavor)
1/4 cup (60 ml) heavy cream (optional for extra richness)
1/2 tsp salt (to taste)
1/4 tsp baking soda (for fluffiness, optional but helps with texture)
1/4 tsp garlic powder or onion powder (optional for flavor, but it’s fine to leave out if you want to stick strictly to carnivore)
1 tbsp fresh herbs (optional, like chives or thyme, for extra flavor)
1 tsp butter or ghee (for greasing the pan)

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:
- Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). While the oven is warming up, you can prepare your bread batter.
Prepare the Baking Dish:
- Grease a small loaf pan (around 8 x 4 inches) with 1 tsp of butter or ghee. This will ensure the bread doesn’t stick and makes it easier to remove once baked. Alternatively, you can line the pan with parchment paper for even easier removal.
Separate the Eggs:
- Carefully separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. You’ll use both in this recipe, but the whites need to be whipped to create airiness in the bread.
Whip the Egg Whites:
- In a clean, dry bowl, whisk the egg whites using a hand mixer or stand mixer until they form stiff peaks. This means that when you lift the whisk, the peaks hold their shape and don’t fall over. Be sure not to overwhip, as this can cause the whites to collapse. Set them aside for now.
Mix the Egg Yolks:
- In another bowl, beat the egg yolks along with the heavy cream (if using), salt, and optional flavorings like garlic or onion powder. Whisk these ingredients together until they’re smooth and fully combined.
- Add the butter to the yolk mixture and melt it gently. If you’re using butter straight from the fridge, you can microwave it for 10-15 seconds or melt it in a saucepan over low heat. Once the butter is melted, add it to the egg yolk mixture and stir to combine.
Fold in the Egg Whites:
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the yolk mixture using a spatula. Be careful not to deflate the whites. You want to maintain as much air as possible to keep the bread light and fluffy. Continue folding until everything is fully combined.
Add Optional Baking Soda:
- If you’re using baking soda, sprinkle it over the mixture and gently fold it in. This helps to give the bread a bit more rise and fluffiness.
Pour the Batter into the Pan:
- Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan. Use a spatula to smooth the top and ensure the batter is evenly distributed.
Bake the Egg Bread:
- Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.
- Keep an eye on it as baking times may vary slightly depending on your oven. The bread should rise and form a light, airy texture.
Cool and Slice:
- Once baked, remove the bread from the oven and allow it to cool in the pan for about 5 minutes. Afterward, turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
- Slice it into thin pieces, and it’s ready to serve! This bread holds up well as a sandwich base, served with butter, or even used for dipping into savory carnivore sauces or stews.

Tips for the Best Carnivore Egg Bread:

Whipping the Egg Whites: Be sure the bowl and whisk are clean and free from any oil or fat before whipping the egg whites. This ensures the whites whip properly and give the bread its light texture.
No Baking Soda: If you prefer a more dense, eggy texture, feel free to omit the baking soda. It’s optional but helps make the bread a little fluffier.
Storage: Store the bread in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. If you have leftovers, you can also freeze slices for easy future use. Just pop a slice in the toaster for a quick breakfast or snack.

This Carnivore Zero Carb Egg Bread is an excellent choice for those on a carnivore diet looking for a bread-like option that’s completely low-carb and deliciously satisfying. Whether you’re using it for sandwiches or as a side to your main course, it’s sure to hit the spot!
