Description

Carnivore Pizza Muffins are savory, high-protein, low-carb bites made entirely with meat, eggs, and cheese. These portable muffins deliver all the flavor of pizza without the crust, perfect for carnivore or keto diets.


Ingredients

  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb ground Italian sausage (or more beef)
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped pepperoni slices
  • 1/4 cup bacon bits (optional)
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a muffin tin or use silicone liners.
  2. In a skillet, cook ground beef and sausage until browned. Drain excess grease.
  3. In a large bowl, beat the eggs. Stir in mozzarella, Parmesan, pepperoni, bacon (if using), cooked meat, and seasoning.
  4. Spoon mixture into muffin cups, filling each about 3/4 full.
  5. Bake for 20–25 minutes until golden on top and set in the center.
  6. Let cool slightly before removing from tin and serving.

Notes

  • Use different meats like ham or shredded chicken for variety.
  • Add flavor with garlic powder, red pepper flakes, or a cube of cheese in the center.
  • Make mini muffins by reducing bake time to 12–15 minutes.
  • Store in fridge up to 4 days or freeze for longer storage.
  • Reheat in microwave (20–30 seconds) or oven (300°F) until warm.
