I am constantly on the lookout for ways to make my carnivore way of eating more interesting.
One dish that I made is steamed eggs. It is incredibly easy to prepare and you can season or garnish it any way you like.
There are only 2 ingredients – eggs and water (or broth). The ratio of eggs to liquids is 1:1, say one bowl of eggs to one bowl of water/broth. For my liquids, I used bone broth.
To measure the volume of eggs and liquids, I used my glass cup.
I could have added one more egg but I stuck to four.
Pour the eggs and bone broth into a bowl and beat until well combined.
Then pour into a heatproof bowl and steam for about 12 minutes or until the mixture is firmed up. I test by jiggling the container. If it is still liquid, continue to steam a little longer until cooked.
If you are a strict carnivore, you can just sprinkle some salt to taste (or add salt to the mixture before steaming) or eat the steamed eggs plain. I have done that before and it tastes pretty good.
Since I am a very relaxed carnivore, I chose to top the steamed eggs with light soy sauce, sesame oil, fried shallots and spring onions.
Oh, I must say that the steamed eggs tasted wonderful!
Soy sauce is frowned upon in the carnivore space as it is said to be inflammatory. However, I am Asian, my ancestors have been consuming soy sauce for thousand of years and I do not react negatively when ingesting soy sauce. So I believe I am genetically adapted to consume soy sauce. Hah!

Ever since making this steamed egg and loving it, it graces my dining table very frequently.
In fact yesterday evening, I had it as part of my dinner (in front of the TV, bad habit). Halfway through, I remembered I had some crispy pork lard in the fridge.
So I added a few spoonfuls of those tasty crispy sprinkles and whoa! so good!
