Step 3

Preheat your oven to 375 degrees.

Step 4

In your blender, blend the pork rinds to a fine powder. Set the pork rind powder aside in your mixing bowl.

Step 5

Add the sage, thyme, nutmeg, rosemary (if using), and salt to the pork rind powder. Mix together.

Step 6

Step 7

In a blender, blend the raw ground beef and eggs until a smooth paste forms.

Step 8

Add the beef-egg paste to your mixing bowl and mix to form a dough.

Step 9

Line the cupcake slots of your cupcake baking pan with the dough and form crusts. See the example pictured in the "Tips to make the best..." section.

Step 10

Bake the crusts at 375 degrees for 20 minutes.

Step 11

In your mixing bowl, beat 6 eggs to a smooth consistency. Using a hand mixer is fine, but it is not necessary.

Step 12

Shred the cheese into the mixing bowl. Fold the cheese into the eggs to combine and add a dash of sea salt.

Step 13

When the crusts are done baking, remove them from the oven. Fill each crust with the egg-cheese filling.

Step 14

Note: It's normal if the filling falls outside of the middle and into the sides of the slot. It ends up all baking together into one muffin.

Step 15

Bake for 15-20 minutes at 375 degrees until the tops turn golden brown.

Step 16

Optional: add chopped chives (do not use if strict carnivore) prior to baking, if using.

Step 17

Once the muffins are done baking, remove them from the oven and allow them to cool for about 10 minutes.

Step 18

Leftovers can be stored in the fridge in an airtight container for 4-5 days.
