Carnivore Lasagna (High-Protein, Zero-Carb)
Ingredients:
“Noodle” Layers (Cheese Layer Alternative):
-
4 large eggs
-
4 oz cream cheese
-
1½ cups shredded mozzarella
-
¼ cup grated Parmesan
-
(Optional: ½ tsp garlic powder, ½ tsp Italian seasoning for flavor — skip for strict carnivore)
Meat Sauce Layer:
-
1.5 lb ground beef (or mix with pork or veal)
-
1 tsp salt
-
Optional: 1 tbsp beef tallow or butter for richness
Cheese Filling:
-
1½ cups ricotta cheese OR cottage cheese (strained)
-
1 cup shredded mozzarella
-
1 egg
-
Salt to taste
Topping:
-
½–1 cup shredded mozzarella
-
Optional: more Parmesan or crumbled crispy bacon
Instructions:
Step 1: Make the “Noodle” Base
-
Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
Blend eggs, cream cheese, mozzarella, Parmesan (and optional seasonings) until smooth.
-
Pour onto parchment-lined baking sheet (9×13″) and bake 10–12 minutes until set.
-
Let cool, then slice into lasagna “noodle” sheets.
Step 2: Cook the Meat
-
Brown ground beef in a skillet with salt (and tallow or butter).
-
Cook until fully browned and juicy. Drain fat if preferred or leave it for flavor.
Step 3: Make Cheese Filling
-
Mix ricotta/cottage cheese, shredded mozzarella, egg, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 4: Assemble the Lasagna
-
In a small baking dish:
-
Layer 1: Meat
-
Layer 2: Noodles
-
Layer 3: Cheese mixture
-
Repeat layers 1–2 more times
-
-
Top with mozzarella and optional bacon or Parmesan.
Step 5: Bake
-
Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 20–25 minutes until bubbly and golden.
-
Let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing — this helps it set.
Tips:
-
Strict Carnivore? Omit garlic/Italian herbs. Stick with meat, eggs, cheese, salt.
-
Use sliced deli meat (e.g., turkey, chicken, ham) instead of the cheese “noodles” if you want a faster version.
-
Store leftovers in fridge for 4–5 days or freeze individual slices.
