Recipe Name: Carnivore Sausage & Egg Biscuit

Embark on a journey back to the fundamentals of flavor with our Carnivore Sausage & Egg Biscuit. This recipe is a tribute to the pure, satisfying power of animal-based ingredients, stripping away the carbs, plants, and fillers to deliver a breakfast experience that is both primal and profoundly delicious. Imagine a fluffy, buttery biscuit made without a speck of flour, cradling a perfectly cooked patty of seasoned sausage and a softly set egg. This isn’t a “substitute” for a classic breakfast sandwich; it’s an upgrade—a protein-packed, energy-sustaining powerhouse that will keep you full and focused for hours. Designed for those on a carnivore, keto, or very low-carb diet, this recipe proves that simplicity, when executed with quality ingredients, is the ultimate form of gourmet.

The magic lies in the biscuit. By using finely grated cheese and egg as the base, we create a structure that is surprisingly bread-like: golden on the outside, tender and slightly cheesy on the inside. It’s the perfect vessel for the savory sausage and rich, runny yolk that brings it all together. Whether you’re a seasoned carnivore or simply looking for a grain-free breakfast option, this sandwich is a game-changer.

Ingredients

For the Carnivore Biscuits:

• 2 cups (8 oz / 225g) finely shredded cheddar cheese (pre-shredded works, but block cheese you shred yourself melts more evenly)

• 2 large eggs

• 1/4 cup (1 oz / 28g) parmesan cheese, finely grated

• 1/4 tsp baking powder (optional, for a slight rise)

• Pinch of salt (optional, as the cheeses are already salty)

For the Sausage & Egg Assembly:

• 1/2 lb (8 oz / 225g) ground pork sausage (look for a sugar-free blend, or season your own with salt, pepper, sage, and fennel)

• 2 large eggs

• 2 slices of your favorite cheese for melting (e.g., American, provolone, or more cheddar)

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Butter or tallow for frying

Instructions

Step 1: Create the Carnivore Biscuits

1. Preheat and Prep: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a small baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Combine Ingredients: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the shredded cheddar cheese, parmesan cheese, and the optional baking powder. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.

3. Incorporate the Eggs: Crack the two eggs into the cheese mixture. Using a fork or spatula, mix vigorously until a thick, sticky, and uniform dough forms. It will be wetter than traditional biscuit dough, but this is normal.

4. Form the Biscuits: Divide the dough into two equal portions. With lightly wet hands (to prevent sticking), shape each portion into a round, flat biscuit shape, about 3-4 inches in diameter and 3/4-inch thick. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart.

5. Bake to Perfection: Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the biscuits are deeply golden brown, puffed up, and firm to the touch.

6. Cool Slightly: Remove the biscuits from the oven and let them cool on the baking sheet for at least 10 minutes. They will firm up significantly as they cool, making them much easier to handle and slice.

Step 2: Cook the Sausage Patties

1. Shape the Patties: While the biscuits are baking, divide the ground sausage into two equal portions. Form each portion into a ball, then flatten it into a patty that is slightly wider than your biscuits, as it will shrink slightly during cooking.

2. Cook Thoroughly: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the sausage patties and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until they are cooked through, nicely browned, and have an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C). Remove the patties from the skillet and set them aside on a plate.

Step 3: Fry the Eggs

1. Prepare the Skillet: In the same skillet, drain off excess sausage grease or add a small pat of butter or tallow if the pan is dry.

2. Fry to Order: Crack the two eggs into the skillet. For the ideal sandwich egg, we recommend over-medium. Cook until the egg whites are fully set, then carefully flip. Cook for an additional 30-60 seconds on the second side so the yolk is thickened but still soft and runny. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. (You can also do over-easy or over-hard based on your preference).

Step 4: The Grand Assembly

1. Slice and Prepare: Once the biscuits have cooled and firmed up, carefully slice them in half horizontally, like an English muffin.

2. Build from the Bottom: Place the bottom half of each biscuit on a plate. Top each with one sausage patty.

3. Add the Cheese: Place a slice of your chosen melting cheese on top of the hot sausage patty so it begins to melt.

4. Crown with the Egg: Gently place one fried egg on top of the melting cheese.

5. Cap it Off: Finish your masterpiece by placing the top half of the carnivore biscuit on the egg. Press down gently.
