🥖 Zero-Carb Fluffy Bread (Carnivore-Friendly)
🛒 Ingredients (Makes 6 small rolls or 1 mini loaf)
-
4 large eggs, separated
-
4 oz (115g) cream cheese, softened
-
¼ tsp cream of tartar (optional, helps stabilize whites)
-
Pinch of salt (optional)
Strict Lion Diet Option:
Replace cream cheese with 2 tbsp melted butter or beef tallow (texture will be less fluffy, more custard-like).
🔥 Instructions
1️⃣ Preheat
Preheat oven to 300°F (150°C).
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Whip Egg Whites
-
Add egg whites to a clean bowl.
-
Add cream of tartar.
-
Beat until stiff peaks form (very important for fluffiness).
3️⃣ Mix Yolks
-
In another bowl, blend egg yolks + softened cream cheese until smooth and lump-free.
4️⃣ Fold Gently
-
Carefully fold egg whites into yolk mixture in 3 batches.
-
Do NOT overmix — keep as much air as possible.
5️⃣ Shape & Bake
-
Spoon mixture into 6 round mounds (like burger buns).
-
Bake 25–30 minutes until golden and set.
6️⃣ Cool Completely
Let cool at least 15–20 minutes. They firm up as they cool.

❓ Q&A
Q1: Is this truly zero-carb?
Eggs contain trace carbs (~0.4g per egg), but practically zero-carb for most carnivore diets.
Q2: Why did my bread deflate?
Common causes:
-
Egg whites not whipped enough
-
Overmixing during folding
-
Underbaking
Q3: How do I make it less eggy?
-
Add pinch of salt
-
Toast before eating
-
Use very fresh eggs
Q4: Can I store it?
Yes:
-
Fridge: 3 days
-
Freezer: 1 month
Reheat in toaster or oven.
Q5: Can I add cheese?
Yes — fold in ¼ cup finely shredded mozzarella for extra structure (not strict carnivore but ketovore-friendly).
