Tasty Bacon & Cheddar Biscuits ~ for breakfast or snack time. |
1 1/2 cups grated mozzarella cheese
4 ounces cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cage free eggs
2/3 cup almond flour
4 teaspoons baking powder
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 cup grated cheddar cheese
4 slices cooked bacon, chopped
plastic wrap
parchment paper
Method:
Add the mozzarella and cream cheese to a large microwaveable bowl. Microwave on high for 45 seconds, until the cheeses are slightly melted. Stir and return to the microwave for an additional 20 seconds. Stir. (The mixture should be sticky. If any of the cheeses are unmelted microwave for 10 to 20 seconds more.)
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, baking powder, spices and eggs. Add the combined ingredients to the melted cheeses. Mix until well blended. Mix in the cheddar cheese and bacon.
Lightly dust a piece of plastic wrap with almond flour.
Pour the dough into the middle of the dusted plastic wrap and cover to form a ball. Refrigerate the dough for 20 to 30 minutes. (or longer)
Preheat oven to 425*. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Cut the dough into 10 equal pieces. Roll the cut pieces into balls. Space the dough balls evenly on the prepared baking sheets. (The dough will spread.) Bake for 5 minutes, rotate the pan and then continue baking for 3 minutes, or until golden brown. (Be careful not to burn.)
Allow to cool for 5 minutes before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container, in the refrigerator.
