# What You'll Need:
→ Dough
01 -
1 3/4 cups chopped ham
02 -
1/4 cup heavy cream
03 -
1 tablespoon unsalted butter, melted
04 -
2 large eggs
05 -
3 ounces softened cream cheese
06 -
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
07 -
1 teaspoon baking powder
08 -
2 cups almond flour
09 -
1/4 teaspoon salt
→ Topping
10 -
1 tablespoon melted unsalted butter
# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Once you take the biscuits out, brush that last spoon of melted butter over the tops right away. Let 'em sit for a bit, then eat.
02 -
Pop the tray in your oven and bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until you see the biscuits look puffed up and a nice golden color.
03 -
Grab a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop, then drop dough mounds onto your lined-up baking pan. Aim for about 22 biscuits. Gently press the tops to flatten just a little.
04 -
Stick your bowl of dough in the fridge for 10 to 15 minutes—just helps it firm up, so don’t skip this part.
05 -
Now toss in your chopped ham. Fold it in carefully and don't stir for too long—keeps 'em fluffy.
06 -
Throw in almond flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream, and melted butter. Mix until it's all blended, but you don't want to overdo it.
07 -
Mix up those eggs, cheddar, and creamy cheese in a bowl. Stir it pretty well so it looks even, without any big lumps left.
08 -
Set your oven to 350°F (177°C). Either pop some parchment paper on a pan or spray it so stuff doesn’t stick.
# Additional Notes:
01 -
Want less fat? You can swap out the heavy cream with plain, unsweetened almond milk.
02 -
Don’t stir the dough too much, or your biscuits might get tough.
03 -
Using a small scoop, you'll get around 22 biscuits with just under 2 carbs each. Use a bigger scoop for roughly 12 biscuits and add a couple more minutes to the baking time.
