Ham Cheese Keto Biscuits (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1 3/4 cups ham, chopped
02 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
03 -
1/4 cup heavy cream
04 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
05 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
06 -
2 cups almond flour
07 -
2 large eggs
08 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
09 -
3 ounces cream cheese, softened
→ Topping
10 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Take them out of the oven, brush on that tablespoon of melted butter while they're hot, then let 'em cool a bit before you dig in.
02 -
Pop the baking sheet in your oven and cook for about 13 to 15 minutes. You want the biscuits fluffy and golden.
03 -
Scoop out the dough with a little cookie or ice cream scooper. Drop them on the sheet so you end up with about 22. Give each a gentle press to flatten a smidge.
04 -
Slide the dough into your fridge and leave it for 10 or 15 minutes. That way, it firms up and is easier to handle.
05 -
Now carefully mix in your chopped ham. Don’t stir it too much or you’ll lose that nice, airy biscuit texture.
06 -
Dump in almond flour, heavy cream, melted butter, salt, and baking powder. Mix just until it all comes together—don’t overdo it.
07 -
Put the cream cheese (softened), cheddar, and eggs in a big bowl and stir things up. Keep going until it’s all nice and creamy with no lumps.
08 -
Set your oven to 350°F (177°C). Either cover your baking sheet with parchment paper or grease it up a little bit.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
Swap out heavy cream with plain almond milk if you’re cutting down on fat.
02 -
Only stir as much as you have to—if you mix too hard, the biscuits turn out heavy.
03 -
Using a small scoop makes around 22 biscuits, each with 1.9 net carbs; a big scoop gives about 12 but they need to bake for at least 16 to 18 minutes.
