- 2 tablespoons butter, melted (or ghee for a cleaner version)

Instructions
-
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a small loaf pan with parchment paper or lightly grease it. -
Prepare the Batter:
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs until well-beaten. Add the melted butter (or ghee), and heavy cream if using. Whisk until everything is fully combined. -
Add Dry Ingredients:
To the wet ingredients, add the ground pork rinds, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and baking soda (if using). Stir until the mixture forms a thick, dough-like batter. -
Pour into the Loaf Pan:
Pour the mixture into the prepared loaf pan and smooth the top with a spatula. -
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean. -
Cool and Slice:
Remove the bread from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 5 minutes. Then, remove from the pan and allow it to cool completely on a wire rack before slicing.

FAQs
Q: Can I use almond flour instead of pork rinds?
This recipe is specifically designed to be zero-carb and carnivore-friendly, so almond flour would not be suitable for this version. Pork rinds give the bread structure while keeping it in line with the carnivore diet.
Q: Can I make this bread without eggs?
Unfortunately, eggs are essential for the structure of this bread. Since the recipe is egg-based, it won’t work without them.
Q: Can I add herbs or seasonings to this bread?
Yes! You can add optional seasonings like garlic powder, onion powder, or even some dried herbs such as rosemary or thyme for extra flavor.
Storage Tips
-
Freezing:
Slice the bread and store it in an airtight container or freezer bag in the freezer for up to 3 months. Toast slices directly from the freezer for a quick snack.
