Cheddar Biscuits Keto Recipe
Description
This keto-friendly biscuit recipe replaces traditional flour with almond flour, blending it with whisked eggs and melted butter for moisture. Baking powder acts as a leavening agent to provide lift, while garlic powder and salt add savory notes. The inclusion of a substantial amount of shredded cheddar cheese gives these biscuits a rich flavor and tender crumb.
Baked at 450 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes, the biscuits develop a lightly golden exterior while maintaining softness inside. Brushing with melted butter after baking adds shine and richness, while chopped fresh parsley offers a fresh herbal touch.
These biscuits can be a versatile accompaniment to meals where low carbohydrate intake is desired. The recipe can be adjusted by substituting different cheeses, though shredding cheese fresh is preferred for better melting.
Ingredients
FOR THE BISCUITS:
- 4 large egg
- 1 1/4 cup almond flour
- 2 tsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 Tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 cups cheddar cheese (shredded)
FOR THE TOPPING:
- 1 Tbsp butter (melted)
- 2 tsp parsley (chopped)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk the eggs.
- Then stir in the almond flour, melted butter, baking powder, garlic powder and salt.
- Then stir in the cheddar cheese.
- Divide the biscuit batter into 11 equal portions, and form them into a rounded biscuit shape. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake for 10-12 minutes until the tops are lightly golden brown and toothpick inserted into the middle comes out clean.
- While the biscuits are cooking, melt the butter for the topping.
- Brush the tops of the biscuits with the butter while they are still warm and top with the fresh parsley.
- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
- Store leftover biscuits in an airtight container for 3-4 days or freeze for up to 3 months to maintain freshness.
- Use freshly shredded cheddar cheese rather than pre-shredded for better melting and texture in the biscuits.
- Different types of cheese can be substituted according to preference without affecting the basic biscuit structure.
