If you’re following a carnivore diet or simply want a high-protein, low-carb breakfast that’s quick and delicious, this Carnivore Toast with Cheese and Egg is the perfect option! Instead of traditional bread, this recipe uses a meat-based “toast” that is packed with flavor and protein.
Ingredients:
- For the Carnivore Toast:
- 1 lb (450 g) ground chicken, turkey, or beef
- 1 large egg
- ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ tsp garlic powder (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- For the Topping:
- 2 large eggs
- ½ cup shredded cheddar or mozzarella cheese
- 1 tbsp butter or ghee
Instructions:
- Prepare the “Toast”:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a bowl, mix ground meat, one egg, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder (if using), salt, and pepper until combined.
- Divide the mixture into 4 portions. Flatten each portion into a thin rectangular “toast” shape on the parchment paper.
- Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until fully cooked and slightly golden. Remove from oven and let cool slightly.
- Cook the Eggs:
- Heat butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Fry the eggs sunny-side-up, over-easy, or scrambled—whichever you prefer. Set aside.
- Assemble the Carnivore Toast:
- Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over the cooked meat “toasts.” Place them back in the oven for 2–3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Top each toast with a fried egg.
- Serve:
- Transfer the toasts to a plate. Sprinkle a little extra cheese or garnish with fresh herbs like parsley (if desired). Serve immediately while warm.
- Pro Tip:
To add extra flavor, you can top your Carnivore Toast with a dollop of sour cream or sprinkle with crispy bacon bits. Adjust toppings to suit your taste and dietary preferences!
