These Keto Ham, Cheddar and Jalapeno Bites have just 1 net carb each, making them perfect for low carb meal prep!

I’m introducing you to the newest collection of my keto bites. These amazing low carb treats are packed with chopped ham, sharp cheddar cheese and diced jalapeños. This is an incredible keto breakfast that is completely meal prep friendly, but also a great lunch because they are good warm or cold. 

What is the keto diet?

Keto is a high fat, low carb diet. When your body is in a state of ketosis it burns fat for fuel instead of carbs. The total amount of suggested net carbs can vary from person to person, but generally people can reach ketosis when they have had 40-20 net carbs.

It can be difficult to find grab and go or meal prep style foods that fit this diet because so many of those go to options are full of carbs. These Keto Ham, Cheddar and Jalapeno Bites are great on their own, with a side salad or along side a soup! 

Ingredients for Ham Cheddar and Jalapeno Bites

• Ham
• Shredded Cheddar Cheese
• Cream Cheese
• Eggs
• Jalapeno
• Almond Flour
• Baking Powder

How do you make Ham Cheddar and Jalapeno Bites 

You can easily make these bites in just a few simple steps. Begin by chopping the ham, you can use leftover dinner ham, thickly sliced deli ham, a ham steak or even country ham if you prefer a more flavorful dish. Then follow these steps:

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Combine the chopped ham and cream cheese until completely combined.
3. Stir in the shredded cheese, chopped jalapeño, eggs, almond flour and baking powder until a thick dough forms.
4. Chill the dough 15 minutes. 
5. Use a 1 inch cookie scoop to portion the bites out. Drop onto a silicone lined baking sheet and bake 15-18 min until golden brown and cooked through. 

How do I reheat ham and cheese bites?

Simply reheat these ham and cheese bites in 30 second increments until warmed through. 

These are also freezer friendly. Simply store in a freezer safe bag up to 3 months. Remove individual bites and reheat in 30 second increments until warmed though. 

How many carbs are in each bite?

One batch makes over 20 bites (24 for me) and they contain just 1.1 net carb each! You can pair this with a side salad or low carb soup for a hearty lunch that will keep you full all day!
