10 Easy Carnivore Breakfast Ideas

Carnivore Breakfast Ideas

The carnivore diet is all about eating animal-based foods, focusing on meat, fish, and animal fats while avoiding carbs and plant-based products. And I find that breakfast just naturally lends itself to this way of eating. I mean, bacon, sausage, eggs cooked in butter? Yes, please!

Here are 10 carnivore-friendly breakfast ideas that will fuel your body and keep you satisfied for hours- unlike a carb-laden feast!

01. Classic Bacon and Eggs

Nothing says breakfast quite like bacon and eggs. On the carnivore diet, this combo is a staple. Fry up several slices of crispy bacon, then cook eggs in the bacon fat for added flavor. You can scramble, fry, or poach the eggs depending on your preference. The high fat and protein content will keep you full for hours.

02. Steak and Eggs

For a hearty, filling breakfast, steak and eggs are a great option. We usually cut up leftover steak, give it a quick pan-sear with some butter or beef tallow, and scramble the eggs right in the same pan.

A ribeye or sirloin steak paired with eggs, gives you a substantial dose of protein and fats.

03. Deviled Eggs

I could eat these every day for breakfast. Maria from Keto Adapted has a great Carnivore Deviled Eggs recipe using a butter mayo. Yum!!

04. Sausage Patties

Sausage patties are another delicious carnivore breakfast choice. Look for sausage made from 100% meat with no added sugars, fillers, or seasonings that aren’t carnivore-approved. Cook them in a skillet or grill them, and pair with eggs or other meats for an extra boost of protein.

Our favorite “breakfast sandwich” is to fry up two round sausage patties and put an egg (and a piece of cheese, sometimes!) in the middle. No one misses the english muffin! Find the recipe here.

05. Carnivore Omelette

While traditional omelettes are filled with veggies and cheese, a carnivore omelette is made entirely of animal-based ingredients.

Start with a base of eggs and add in diced ham, crumbled sausage, and bacon bits for a meat-heavy breakfast. Cook in butter or animal fat for added flavor and richness.

Add a sprinkle of sharp cheddar or parmesan if you’re adding in dairy.

06. Ground Beef Scramble

Ground beef for breakfast? Absolutely! Brown a pound of ground beef in a pan and enjoy it with a bit of salt, or scramble it with eggs.

For a variation, you can add bone marrow or beef liver for extra nutrients. It’s a quick and filling meal that you can cook in under 10 minutes.

To be honest- I thoroughly enjoy ground beef cold, right out of the fridge. Its surprisingly tasty!

07. Egg Muffins

If you’re on the go, egg muffins are a convenient, grab-and-go carnivore breakfast option. Whisk eggs and mix them with cooked bacon or sausage, then pour the mixture into a muffin tin.

Bake in the oven until the eggs are fully set. You can make a batch ahead of time and reheat them during the week for a quick breakfast.

08. Bone Broth

While it might not be your typical breakfast food, bone broth is a nourishing option, packed with collagen, amino acids, and nutrients from the bones. Warm up a cup of bone broth to sip on its own, or pair with some breakfast meat for a more filling breakfast.

Bone broth is also great for improving gut health and supporting joint function.

09. Carnivore Breakfast Sandwiches

If you’re following a carnivore diet or just want a hearty, protein-packed breakfast, this carnivore breakfast sandwich is perfect!

It’s easy to make, filling, and doesn’t require any bread. Instead, sausage patties act as the “buns” to hold everything together, making this meal 100% carnivore-approved. Here’s how to make it step by step.

10. Carnivore Breakfast Pizza

Create a breakfast “pizza” by using ground beef or sausage as the crust. Combine the ground meat with crushed pork rinds and two whisked eggs for bidning. Spread the ground meat mixture in a skillet or baking dish, then top with cooked bacon, eggs, and a sprinkle of cheese (if you’re including dairy in your carnivore plan).

Bake until the eggs are set, and you’ve got a hearty, meat-based breakfast pizza.

Eating carnivore doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice variety, especially at breakfast. By using different cuts of meat, eggs, and animal-based fats, you can create delicious, filling meals that are nutrient-dense and satisfying.

These 10 carnivore breakfast ideas are just a starting point—you can mix and match to keep things interesting, while still staying 100% carnivore.
