Keto Ham Cheese (Printable Version)
# What You'll Need:
01 -
1 3/4 cups ham, chopped up
02 -
1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
03 -
2 cups almond flour
04 -
3 oz cream cheese, brought to room temp
05 -
2 large eggs
06 -
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
07 -
1/4 cup heavy cream
08 -
1 tsp baking powder
09 -
1/4 tsp salt
→ For topping
10 -
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
# Steps to Follow:
01 -
Set your oven to 350°F (177°C) and grab a baking sheet. Either grease it or toss some parchment paper on top.
02 -
In a big bowl, mix together cream cheese, eggs, and shredded cheddar. Keep going until you don’t see any big lumps left.
03 -
Toss in the almond flour, heavy cream, baking powder, butter, and salt. Stir until you get a dough that sticks together.
04 -
Carefully fold the chopped ham into your dough. Don’t mix it too long. Stick the dough in the fridge for about 10–15 minutes so it sets up a bit.
05 -
Using an ice cream or cookie scoop, scoop dough out and place on your sheet. Gently press each one down a bit—don’t flatten completely.
06 -
Let the biscuits bake for 13–15 minutes until you see a nice golden color.
07 -
Once they’re out and still warm, brush melted butter on top and dig in right away.
# Additional Tips:
01 -
If you want to cut down on fat, swap heavy cream for plain almond milk. Just know they won't be as rich.
02 -
You want the dough to be thick but don't mix it to death or they'll get kind of tough.
03 -
If you go with a little cookie scoop, you'll get around 22 biscuits at about 1.9 net carbs each. Scoops that are bigger give about 12, so bake those for 16–18 minutes instead.
