Zero-fiber carnivore egg bites are made entirely from animal-based ingredients. This easy dairy-free breakfast idea is great for meal prep. The process is as easy as combining eggs with browned ground beef, adding a pinch of salt, and baking in the oven until done!

Ground beef is an essential staple in my meal prep routine. It’s easy to work with, widely available, and budget-friendly. While it’s usually used in lunch and dinner recipes like meatballs and stroganoff, eating ground beef for breakfast gives you a hearty, protein-rich start to the day that keeps you full for hours. That’s why I love these egg bites and carnivore casserole!

Ingredients You Need

• Eggs: Go for the freshest eggs you can find. They’ll give your dish a cleaner flavor and a better texture. Spot a rotten egg by trying a simple test: crack it open, do the float test, or use candling to check freshness.
• Ground beef: I used lean ground beef. If unavailable, substitute with ground pork or sausage, ground bison, or whatever else you might have around.
• Salt

I recommend ButcherBox as a source of organic, grass-fed, and grass-finished ground beef. They specialize in delivering high-quality meat to your door (US only). Getting a monthly subscription makes grocery shopping and meal prep easier because you can rely on their quality and consistency.

Step-By-Step Instructions

Making carnivore egg bites is as easy as cooking the meat, mixing, and baking! Just 10 minutes of prep and your oven does the rest. You can use ground beef for the entire batch or mix and match flavors using different proteins.

Step 1: Prep

Preheat the oven to 350 F (175 C).

Lightly grease a standard-size muffin tin. Anything soft like butter, lard, or duck fat will work.

Step 2: Cook the ground beef

Lightly brown the meat in a skillet over medium heat. Since the meat will continue cooking in the oven, I move it around on the pan for 5 minutes or so until it begins to brown. This helps avoid overcooking.

Step 3: Mix egg and meat

Whisk eggs in a large bowl. Add meat and salt. Stir to combine.

Step 4: Bake

Divide the mixture evenly into the muffin tins. You’ll notice the meat sinks to the bottom of the bowl, so use a spoon to scoop it into the 12 wells. Pour the whisked egg over and fill ¾ full. Bake for 20 minutes until eggs are set.

Step 5: Cool

Remove from the oven and cool for 5 minutes. Release by running a knife around the edge of each muffin. They should pop out easily. Arrange on a wire rack and continue cooling or serve immediately.

Expert Tips

• Whisk well for fluffiness: Beat the eggs until fully mixed and a little frothy. This helps trap air, giving your muffins a light, fluffy texture.
• Leave room to rise: Only fill muffin cups about ¾ of the way so the eggs can puff up without spilling over.
• Cool before storing: Always let them cool completely before packing away to avoid condensation that can make them rubbery.

How to Store This Recipe

Cool and pack into an airtight container or resealable bag. They’ll keep in the fridge for 4 to 5 days. These freeze well, so you can bake a double batch and store leftovers in a freezer-safe bag. Thaw them overnight in the fridge and eat cold or reheat in the oven before serving.

How to Serve Carnivore Egg Bites

Serve the carnivore egg bites warm or cold. For a clean presentation, plate them whole or slice them in half for bite-sized servings. Enjoy as is or garnish simply with a sprinkle of salt.

Carnivore-friendly pairings:

• Crispy bacon or sausage links for a heartier breakfast.
• Steak bites or burger patties for a protein-packed brunch.
• A side of pork rinds for crunch.
• Carnivore bone broth in a mug for a warm, nourishing complement.
• Smeared with cream cheese and smoked salt.
