Ingredients for Your Carnivore Pizza Muffin

Alright, let’s gather our stuff! You’ll need: 6 large eggs (gotta be large!), a half cup of heavy cream, and a half cup of grated Parmesan cheese. Don’t forget the meat! You’ll want a half cup each of cooked and crumbled bacon *and* Italian sausage. Plus, a quarter cup of chopped pepperoni – the good stuff! And for seasoning? A teaspoon of garlic powder and a half teaspoon of dried oregano, with salt and pepper to taste. Easy peasy!

How to Make the Perfect Carnivore Pizza Muffin

Okay, let’s get cooking! I promise, this couldn’t be simpler. Even *I* can’t mess it up, usually!

1. First, you’ll want to preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Don’t skip this step! A hot oven is key. While that’s heating up, grease a 12-cup muffin tin. I use a little coconut oil spray, works like a charm.
2. Next, grab a big bowl – the biggest you have. In it, whisk together 6 large eggs (remember, they’ve GOT to be large!), a half cup of heavy cream, and another half cup of that grated Parmesan cheese. Whisk it good! You want everything nice and mixed up.
3. Now, for the fun part! Stir in a half cup of cooked and crumbled bacon, a half cup of cooked and crumbled Italian sausage, and that quarter cup of chopped pepperoni. Don’t forget the teaspoon of garlic powder and the half teaspoon of dried oregano. Season with salt and pepper. Don’t be shy! These are meat muffins, they’re begging for flavor.
4. Carefully pour the mixture into the prepared muffin tin. Fill each cup about 3/4 full. Don’t overfill, or you’ll have muffin explosions in your oven. Trust me, no fun.
5. Bake for 20-25 minutes. Keep an eye on them. You’re looking for them to be set and golden brown. A toothpick inserted into the center should come out clean, but honestly? It’s a meat muffin! A little moisture is fine. If you want some more healthy egg muffins check out this recipe!
6. Finally, let the Carnivore Pizza Muffins cool in the tin for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps them firm up and keeps them from sticking. And then? Dig in!
