Cheddar Bay Biscuits (Low Carb)

(Kim Cook) #1

This recipe is similar to the other posted Cheddar Bay Biscuit recipe. This one uses almond flour and not coconut flour.

Ingredients:
• 1 & 1/2 Cups of Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
• 1 Cup Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• 4 Ounces (Half a Package) of Cream Cheese
• 2 Large Eggs
• 2/3 Cup Almond Flour
• 1/2 Teaspoon Granulated Garlic Powder
• 4 Teaspoons Baking Powder
• Butter (For Greasing the Baking Sheet & Brushing over the top of the baked biscuits)

Instructions:

  1. Combine Mozzarella Cheese and Cream Cheese into a large microwave safe bowl, and microwave on high power for about 45 seconds, until slightly melted.
  2. Remove from Microwave and stir together. Return to microwave and nuke it again for about 20 more seconds.
  3. Remove from Microwave again, and stir one last time. The consistency should start to become VERY sticky, and you should not see any unmelted cheeses. If there are still some unmelted cheese, return to Microwave as needed.
  4. In a smaller bowl to the side mix together the Almond Flour, Baking Powder, Granulated Garlic Powder, and Eggs.
  5. Combine the ingredients from the smaller bowl into the bigger bowl and mix together well.
  6. Add cheddar cheese on top of mixture and mix into the mixture.
  7. Set out Plastic Wrap on the counter and dust lightly with almond flour.
  8. Put the mixture onto the dusted portion of the plastic wrap in the middle, and wrap in the plastic wrap to form a general Ball shape.
  9. Place the dough into the refrigerator or freezer for about 20-30 minutes to harden a little. I think the really cold dough helped with their rising and not flattening out when baking.
  10. Pre-heat the oven to 425* F
  11. Remove dough from the refrigerator after the desired time (you can leave it in there longer if you wish to make this ahead of time).
  12. Cut the dough into 8 equal sized pieces.
  13. Grease your dark baking sheet with some butter and roll the 8 pieces of dough into balls.
  14. Place the dough balls spread out equally, avoiding the sides of the baking sheet, as the biscuits will spread out when they cook.
  15. Bake in the oven for 10-12 minutes, paying extra close attention around the 10 minute mark. Be careful not to burn them, and take them out when they look golden brown.
  16. Remove from oven immediately and set on the counter to cool before serving!
    I also brushed the tops of the biscuits with some melted garlic butter and sprinkled with a little sea salt

My non-keto family peeps LOVED them and asked me to make more! They were great warm out of the oven as well as room temp, later in the day. I bet they’d be incredible with a fried egg & some bacon in the middle. :stuck_out_tongue: I’m going to try that with the next batch!
