Ingredients Needed for Carnivore Egg Bites
- 6 large eggs – The base of the recipe, providing protein and structure.
- 8 oz ground pork sausage, cooked – Adds savory flavor and fat. Choose plain sausage without added sugar when possible. Leftover cooked sausage stores well for other meals.
- ½ cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded – Sharp cheddar gives the best flavor; substitute with a similar-aged cheese if preferred.
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream – A small amount that creates a rich, creamy texture in the egg mixture.
How to Make Carnivore Egg Bites
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease a muffin tin well, or use silicone liners for easiest removal.
Cook the ground pork sausage in a skillet over medium heat until completely browned. If the sausage releases a lot of grease, drain a little to prevent sogginess in the finished bites. Set the cooked sausage aside to cool slightly.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream until the mixture is smooth and slightly frothy. Stir in the cooked sausage and shredded cheddar so the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Divide the mixture evenly among the prepared muffin cups, filling each about three-quarters full to allow for a little rise. Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the centers are set and a toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean. Remove from the oven and let the bites cool for a few minutes before carefully removing them from the tin.
Pro Tips From My Kitchen
- Silicone muffin cups make removing the bites effortless and reduce the need for extra oil or grease.
- Allow the egg bites to rest for a few minutes after baking; they firm up as they cool and hold their shape better.
- If your sausage is unusually fatty, drain excess oil after cooking to avoid greasy, heavy bites.
- For extra richness and a golden top, add a sprinkle of extra shredded cheddar to each cup before baking.
- Swap the pork sausage for ground beef, turkey, or chopped cooked bacon to change the flavor profile while keeping the recipe carnivore-friendly.
Storage and Reheating
Store leftover egg bites in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to four days. Reheat individual bites in the microwave for 20–30 seconds or warm several in a 300°F oven until heated through. They also freeze well: cool completely, wrap individually or arrange in a single layer in a freezer-safe container, and freeze for up to two months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator and reheat as usual.
