This simple egg loaf is such an easy way to add diversity to your carnivore lifestyle.
Enjoy these like dutch pancakes or a bread replacement.
Ingredients
- 4 ounces of cream cheese, softened
- 4 tablespoons butter, softened
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Soften the cream cheese and butter by letting sit out at room temperature for at least an hour.
- Preheat often to 350 degrees.
- Mix the butter and cream cheese in a mixer or food processor until its creamy.
- By hand, or lightly in the blender, beat in the eggs until completely mixed in.
- Line with parchment paper or generously butter a loaf pan, and pour the batter in.
- Bake for about 30 minutes, until the top is lightly browned and risen in the pan.
I used a 9"x 7" pan for this size recipe, but it should be pretty flexible to adjust the size of the recipe and size of the baking dish. The loaf will rise when it's done but fall as it cools.
If you allow vanilla, adding a little bit to your batter is a nice addition. You will see adding vanilla to eggs that this is all that makes up the distinctive flavor or smell of cake, so adding a little to anything with eggs will go a long way to making it taste like a dessert without adding any sweetener. However, this will still be great without it.
If you allow spices, another great option is to stir cinnamon in the batter, or whip up some cinnamon butter to put on top. I cleaned out my food processor and used the rest of my room temperature butter to whip together some butter and cinnamon, which I spread on top while the loaf was still warm.
Additionally, this recipe is the base for many other fun things you can make like carnivore french toast or burger buns.
