CHEDDAR BISCUITS KETO 2.0 PLUS VERSION
Equipment
- Cookie Scoop
Ingredients
- 2 cups almond flour Note 1
- 1.5 cups Sharp Cheddar Cheese – Shredded Note 2
- 5 slices bacon Cooked and Crumbled (Note 3)
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
- 2 tablespoons butter diced
- 1 teaspoon table salt
Instructions
- Prepare: Position oven rack in lower half of oven, and preheat to 375 F. Set aside baking half sheet lined with parchment paper or baking mat.
- Make Dough: Stir almond flour and salt in large mixing bowl until well-mixed. Add cheese, eggs, cream, and butter to bowl, stirring for a minute until well-mixed. Stir in crumbled bacon.
- Bake: Evenly divide dough into 8 mounds on lined baking sheet, spaced 1 to 2 inches apart. Bake at 375 F until biscuits are browned and crispy, 25 to 30 minutes (Note 4). Cool for 10 minutes and serve (Note 5).
Notes
(2) Cheddar Cheese. About 5 ounces weight. You can use a bag of pre-shredded cheddar cheese,, but I usually use sharp or extra sharp cheddar for more flavor. If you shred your own from a block you eliminate the need for the carbs from the anti caking agents that are added to pre shredded cheese.
(3) Bacon. You can cook bacon in the microwave, in the oven (bake at 400° for about 30 – 40 minutes or until almost done and then you can store it in the fridge and finish in a pan or on a griddle for perfect bacon), or on the stovetop by frying them on a pan until crispy, turning occasionally. After cooking, transfer bacon to paper towels to absorb the grease. Once the bacon is cool, crumble it into small pieces. Instead of cooking, one option is to substitute with 1/3 cup bacon bits (use only real bacon bits).
(4) Baking Time. Since ovens vary, it’s a good idea to start checking for doneness at the 20 minute mark.
(5) Serving / Leftovers. These biscuits can be served as a savory breakfast, a portable snack, or a cheesy appetizer. Store leftovers in a covered container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place the biscuits on a nonstick pan over medium-low heat until warmed through, turning them occasionally to avoid over-browning. No oil necessary. Avoid the microwave because it makes the biscuits soggy. You can also reheat them in an air fryer for about five minutes at 350°
(6) Flavor Mix-ins. Here are some ideas: add garlic powder or onion powder, skip the bacon or add in other types of meats like pepperoni, replace some or all of the cheddar cheese with parmesan, swiss, or asiago cheese, add jalapeño slices to make it spicy, or convert this to a breakfast bread by making it slightly sweet instead of savory (add sweetener, vanilla, and pecans). This is a relatively forgiving recipe as far as baked goods go, so try different things and let me know how it went in the comments section below.
