Savory Carnivore Cheese Cake Bites

These bite-sized savory delights are perfect for carnivore diet enthusiasts! Rich, cheesy, and protein-packed, they’re ideal for snacking, parties, or even as a quick breakfast.

Ingredients (makes 12–15 bites)

• 8 oz cream cheese, softened

• ½ cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese

• ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

• 2 large eggs

• 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional, for extra flavor)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• ½ teaspoon onion powder

• ¼ teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

• ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat oven:
   Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a muffin tin with silicone cups or lightly grease it with butter.

2. Mix the cheese base:
   In a mixing bowl, combine the cream cheese, cheddar, and Parmesan until smooth.

3. Add flavorings:
   Stir in the garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

4. Incorporate eggs:
   Beat in the eggs one at a time, ensuring the mixture is smooth and creamy.

5. Add bacon (optional):
   Fold in crumbled bacon pieces for a smoky, savory flavor.

6. Fill the muffin tin:
   Spoon the mixture evenly into the prepared muffin cups. Smooth the tops with a spoon.

7. Bake:
   Bake in the preheated oven for 18–22 minutes, or until the tops are golden and firm to the touch.

8. Cool & serve:
   Let the bites cool in the tin for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips & Tricks

• You can swap cheddar for gouda, Swiss, or mozzarella for different flavors.

• Sprinkle extra Parmesan on top before baking for a golden, crispy crust.

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.
