🧀 Zero-Carb Carnivore Cheese Buns

Fluffy, savory, and completely grain-free — these buns are perfect for burgers, breakfast sandwiches, or just slathered in butter. Made with only animal-based ingredients, they’re soft inside with a lightly golden crust.

📝 Ingredients (Makes 6 buns)

  • 1 ½ cups (150g) shredded mozzarella

  • 2 oz (60g) cream cheese

  • 2 large eggs

  • ½ cup (50g) finely grated Parmesan

  • 1 tbsp melted butter

  • Pinch of salt

Optional (texture boost):

  • 1–2 tbsp pork rind crumbs (still carnivore, adds structure)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Melt the Cheese

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine mozzarella and cream cheese.
Microwave 30 seconds, stir, then heat another 20–30 seconds until fully melted and smooth.

2️⃣ Mix the Dough

Add eggs, Parmesan, melted butter, salt (and pork rind crumbs if using).
Mix quickly while cheese is warm until a thick dough forms.

3️⃣ Shape

Divide into 6 equal portions.
With slightly wet hands, shape into round buns and place on a parchment-lined baking tray.

4️⃣ Bake

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
Bake for 12–15 minutes until golden on top.

5️⃣ Cool

Let rest 5–10 minutes — they firm up as they cool.

🔥 Texture Tips

  • For fluffier buns: Separate eggs, whip whites to soft peaks, fold in gently.

  • For crispier crust: Broil 1–2 minutes at the end.

  • For taller buns: Bake in silicone muffin molds.

🥩 Strict Carnivore Note

All ingredients are animal-based.
If avoiding dairy strictly, this recipe won’t work the same — cheese is essential for structure.
