Instructions:

For the Carnivore Bread:

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

  2. Mix the ingredients: In a bowl, combine the cottage cheese, eggs, heavy cream, shredded cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Add garlic powder if desired. Stir everything until the mixture is smooth.

  3. Prepare the pan: Grease a baking dish (like an 8×8 or similar) or line it with parchment paper.

  4. Bake the bread: Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown on top and cooked through. Check with a toothpick to ensure it comes out clean.

  5. Cool and slice: Allow the bread to cool slightly before slicing it into sandwich-sized pieces.

For the Breakfast Sandwiches:

  1. Cook the sausage patties: In a skillet, cook the sausage patties over medium heat until fully cooked, about 4-5 minutes on each side. Set aside.

  2. Cook the eggs: Scramble or fry the eggs as you prefer, in the same skillet or a separate one.

  3. Assemble the sandwiches: Place a slice of cheese on top of each sausage patty. Then, layer it on top of a piece of the carnivore bread. Add a cooked egg on top, and then top it with another slice of the bread.

  4. Serve: Serve the breakfast sandwiches hot and enjoy.

For the Carnivore Biscuits and Gravy:

  1. Cook the sausage: In a skillet, crumble and cook the sausage over medium heat until browned and fully cooked.

  2. Make the gravy: Add the butter to the skillet with the cooked sausage and stir. Then, add the heavy cream, chicken broth (if using), and season with salt and pepper. Stir continuously until the gravy thickens to your desired consistency. If it gets too thick, you can add more cream or broth.

  3. Serve: Pour the gravy over the carnivore bread pieces or serve alongside the breakfast sandwiches for dipping.
