🛒 Ingredients

• 1 large egg

• 2 tbsp cream cheese, softened

• 1 tbsp heavy cream (or melted butter)

• ½ tsp baking powder (optional but key for fluffiness — skip if strict)

• Pinch of salt

Optional (for texture, still carnivore for many):

• 1 tbsp finely crushed pork rinds (makes it more bread-like)

🧁 Instructions

1. Add all ingredients to a microwave-safe mug.

2. Whisk really well (or blend with a fork) until totally smooth.

3. Microwave:

   • 60 seconds, check

   • Add 10–15 seconds if needed
     (It should puff up and set in the middle.)

4. Let it sit 30–60 seconds — it firms up and gets fluffier.

5. Eat straight from the mug or tip it out and slice.

✅ Texture & Flavor Tips

• Cream cheese must be soft or you’ll get lumps

• Don’t overcook — dry = rubbery

• Pork rinds = more structure, less eggy taste

• For savory, add a pinch of garlic powder or cheese

🔥 Variations

Savory bread

• Add 1–2 tbsp shredded cheddar or mozzarella

• Great for sliders or butter topping

Sweet-style (if you allow it)

• Add a few drops of liquid stevia or monk fruit

• Cinnamon + butter on top = chef’s kiss

Ultra-light version

• Separate the egg

• Whip the white to soft peaks

• Fold it in gently before microwaving

❓ Quick Q&A

Why didn’t mine rise?
Old baking powder or overmixed batter.

Why is it eggy?
Needs more fat — add cream or butter.

Can I bake it instead?
Yes!
350°F (175°C) for 12–15 minutes in a ramekin.

Strict carnivore option?
Egg + cream cheese + butter only (denser but still good).
