🧀 Carnivore Cheddar Cheese Rolls

Fluffy, cheesy, zero-flour rolls made with just animal-based ingredients. Perfect as a bread replacement on strict carnivore or keto.

🧂 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 rolls)

2 cups shredded cheddar cheese (low-moisture works best)
2 large eggs
2 tbsp cream cheese (softened)
¼ tsp salt (optional)

Strict carnivore option: Omit salt if desired.

🔪 Equipment

Mixing bowl
Hand mixer or whisk
Baking sheet
Parchment paper

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Preheat

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line baking sheet with parchment.

2️⃣ Melt Cheese

Microwave shredded cheddar in 20-second intervals, stirring until fully melted and smooth (about 60–90 seconds total).

3️⃣ Mix

Quickly stir in cream cheese until smooth.
Add eggs and mix well until fully combined.
(Work while cheese is warm so it blends easily.)

4️⃣ Shape

Scoop 2–3 tbsp portions onto baking sheet.
Shape into small mounds or smooth rounds.

5️⃣ Bake

Bake 12–15 minutes until golden and set.

6️⃣ Cool

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

🥩 Texture & Flavor Tips

Crispier rolls: Bake 2–3 minutes longer.
Softer, fluffier texture: Add ½ tsp baking powder (not strict carnivore but optional keto).
Extra cheesy flavor: Mix cheddar + mozzarella 50/50.

❓ Q & A

❓ Why are my rolls flat?

Cheese may have been too hot when eggs were added, partially scrambling them. Let cheese cool slightly before mixing.

❓ Can I make these dairy-free?

No — this recipe depends on cheese structure. For dairy-free carnivore, try egg-based cloud bread instead.

❓ Can I air fry them?

Yes.

350°F (175°C)
6–8 minutes
Check early to prevent burning.

❓ How do I store them?

Fridge: Up to 4 days
Freezer: 1 month (reheat in oven or air fryer)

❓ Can I use other cheeses?

Yes:

Mozzarella (milder, stretchier)
Colby Jack
Parmesan (stronger flavor, drier texture)
