Carnivore egg pudding

Recipes for two different egg puddings for a carnivore diet, one with just eggs and water, and the other a bit more dessert-like, with dairy products. Egg pudding is a perfect way to get essential nutrients like choline, vitamins A, and D, plus lots of healthy fatty acids. It's also easy on the digestive system and fits well into both carnivore and GAPS diets.

It is not recommended to fall into the trap of adding sweeteners to food, no matter what they are. This can trigger a relapse into the standard diet that made us sick and fat, or trigger us to eat too much.

Egg pudding with eggs and water

Egg pudding made with just eggs and water is a minimalist dish that lets the flavor of the eggs shine through. The silky texture is achieved by gently steaming the mixture in a water bath.

This is both simple, nutritious and completely in line with a carnivore lifestyle.

To make this pudding, you only need eggs and water, as well as something to steam it in.

• Gently whisk the eggs in a bowl until well blended, but not too much – you want to avoid too much air in the mixture.
  
• The ratio of eggs to water is 1:1,5, which means one part egg to one and a half parts water. For example, if you are using four eggs, add six parts water.
  
• Pour the mixture through a fine mesh sieve for an extra smooth consistency. This step is optional, but it helps remove any lumps and makes for a smoother pudding.
  
• Find small ovenproof molds or one large bowl that can withstand heat, and carefully pour the mixture in. Place the molds in a deep pan or large pot, and fill with hot water until it reaches about halfway up the outside of the molds.
  
• Cover the pans with aluminum foil or a lid to prevent condensation from forming and dripping into the pudding. The steam should be gentle and even. Steam for about 10–15 minutes over medium heat, or until the pudding has set. You can test by gently poking it with a spoon; the pudding should be firm but still a little 'shaky' in the middle.
  
• Remove the molds from the water bath and let them cool slightly before serving. The pudding can be eaten as is, or you can top with a small dollop of butter for extra flavor and fat.

This dish is a great example of how simple and satisfying carnivore food can be, while providing essential nutrients and a real sense of luxury.

Creamy egg pudding, with milk or cream, butter and salt

Be aware that many people react negatively to dairy products, so here you have to try your hand. Dairy products also contain casomorphins, which make us want to eat more than we may need, as well as growth hormones that can make us gain weight. Here each of us has to try our hand.

• 4 large eggs (preferably from free-range chickens for extra nutritional value)
  
• 2 dl whole milk or cream (can be replaced with goat's milk for a different taste)
  
• 2 tablespoons butter (preferably grass-fed, for rich flavor and healthier fat profile)
  
• A pinch of salt

Prepare the molds
Preheat the oven to 150°C. Find small ovenproof dishes or one large pudding dish and place them in a deep pan. Fill the pan with hot water until it covers about half the height of the dishes.

Make the batter
In a bowl, whisk together the eggs until well blended. Add the milk or cream a little at a time, stirring gently. Melt the butter and mix in with a pinch of salt. If using vanilla, stir in at the end.

Strain the mixture
For an extra silky texture, strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before pouring it into the molds.

Bake the pudding
Pour the mixture evenly into the molds. Place the baking pan in the oven and bake the pudding in the water bath for 30–40 minutes, or until it has set but still has a light, creamy consistency.

Cool and serve
Remove the molds from the oven and let them cool. Serve the pudding warm or cold, optionally topped with a small dollop of butter for extra luxury.

For a fattier version, you can use just cream, and add a little liquid tallow or more butter. Some people also tolerate cream better than whole milk.

For more protein, you can adjust an egg yolk or two.
