Carnivore Bacon Muffins

Strict Carnivore Bacon Muffins
Ingredients:
6 large eggs
6 slices of cooked bacon (crumbled or chopped)
1/4 cup pork rinds (crushed into fine crumbs)
2 tbsp grass-fed ghee or butter (melted)
1/4 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, omit for strict carnivore)
Instructions:
1. Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Grease a muffin tin with ghee or butter to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Pork Rind Crumbs:
Place pork rinds in a food processor or zip-top bag and crush them into a fine powder. Set aside.
3. Whisk the Eggs:
In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth and frothy. Add the melted ghee or butter and sea salt, whisking until well combined.
4. Combine Ingredients:
Fold the pork rind crumbs into the egg mixture until slightly thickened.
Add the crumbled bacon (and cheese, if using) and stir until evenly distributed.
5. Fill the Muffin Tin:
Divide the mixture evenly among the muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
6. Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the muffins are puffed, golden, and fully set.
To check doneness, insert a toothpick into the center of a muffin. If it comes out clean, they’re ready.
7. Cool and Serve:
Let the muffins cool in the tin for about 5 minutes before carefully removing them. Serve warm.
Pro Tips:
Texture Boost: If you prefer a slightly fluffier texture, separate the egg whites and yolks. Whip the whites to stiff peaks and fold them into the batter.
Custom Bacon Bits: Cook the bacon until crispy and chop it into small pieces for even distribution.
Storage: Store leftover muffins in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in a skillet or microwave before serving.
