Ingredients:
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (full-fat)
2 oz cream cheese (softened)
2 large eggs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra flavor)
1 tbsp butter (for greasing the pan, or optional to brush on top after baking)
1/4 tsp garlic powder (optional, if tolerated on your carnivore diet)
Salt to taste (use sea salt or Himalayan pink salt for better flavor)
Freshly ground black pepper (optional, use if your carnivore diet allows a minimal amount of seasoning
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with butter.
Prepare the Cheese Mixture: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the shredded mozzarella and cream cheese. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is melted and smooth.
Add Eggs and Seasonings: Allow the cheese mixture to cool slightly, then add the eggs, Parmesan cheese (if using), garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Shape the Buns: Spoon the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming 6 to 8 bun-sized portions. Flatten each mound slightly with the back of the spoon.
Bake the Cheese Buns: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the buns are golden brown and firm to the touch.
Optional Butter Brush: For a richer flavor, brush the tops of the buns with melted butter immediately after baking.
Serve and Enjoy: Allow the buns to cool for a few minutes before serving. They can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature.
