These Keto Ham and Cheese Biscuits are the perfect easy keto breakfast. Each soft, fluffy biscuit is loaded with cheese and ham and is less than 2 net carbs!
I’ve been following a keto diet for over a year now. For the most part, I rarely crave carbs but every once in while those tricky cravings sneak back and I need something that reminds me of my “carbful” days.
Most recently, my cravings for a good old ham and biscuit were absolutely out of control! Fortunately, I created a keto version that totally hit the spot!
These Keto Ham and Cheese Biscuits are great as a quick breakfast, amazing little sliders, or the perfect thing to serve with soup!
Ingredients for Keto Ham and Cheese Biscuits
To make these cheesy low-carb biscuits, you’ll need the following simple ingredients:
- Cream cheese
- Shredded cheddar cheese
- Eggs
- Almond flour
- Baking powder
- Salt
- Heavy cream
- Butter
- Chopped ham
Can the Almond Flour Be Substituted?
No, this almond flour biscuit recipe must be made as written. Almond flour is the best keto flour I’ve found for this recipe, so that’s what I recommend.
How to Make Ham and Cheese Biscuits
This recipe is based off of my Keto Cheddar Garlic Biscuits that I shared on my other website, Maebells. That version tastes insanely like Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits and only has two net carbs each!
These Ham and Cheese Biscuits have the same cheesy base that contains a cream cheese, cheddar and egg base. This mixture makes the perfect soft, fluffy, cheesy biscuits.
Here’s an overview of how these cheesy keto almond flour biscuits come together:
- Once the cream cheese, cheddar and eggs have been mixed, until smooth add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, butter and heavy cream.
- Next, fold in the chopped ham. The dough will be quite thick and you may be tempted to add more moisture, but don’t.
- After you’ve mixed the batter, chill in the fridge for 10 minutes (otherwise they will spread out too much as they bake).
- Use a small cookie or ice cream scoop to scoop them out onto a greased or lined baking sheet. Lightly press the dough down to flatten it slightly.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown.
How to Store Keto Biscuits
After baking, store these low-carb biscuits in the fridge. Since the recipe does make 22, I like to freeze about half of my batch for quick sandwiches or a side dish.
They freeze beautifully, so just store in an airtight freezer bag and reheat in 20-second increments until warm.
Tips for Making Ham and Cheese Biscuits
- You can use unsweetened almond milk instead of cream if you want, but the fat content decreases.
- The dough will be thick, be careful not to overmix, watch the video to see exactly how it should look.
- I use a SMALL cookie/ice cream scoop to get 22 biscuits. If you want to use a large/full size scoop, you will get approximately 12 biscuits with about 4 net carbs each. The baking time is 16-18 minutes for the large biscuits.
