Ingredients
Biscuits
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Topping
- 2 tablespoons butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning or parsley
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit to prepare for baking the biscuits.
- Mix Cream Cheese, Cheddar and Eggs: In a mixing bowl, combine the softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, and eggs. Stir thoroughly until the cream cheese is fully smooth and no lumps remain.
- Add Dry and Wet Ingredients: Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream, and melted butter to the bowl. Stir just until combined to avoid overmixing, which can make the biscuits tough.
- Chill Dough: Place the biscuit dough in the refrigerator for 10-15 minutes to help it firm up and make shaping easier.
- Scoop Dough: Using a small cookie scoop or ice cream scoop, portion out the dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Lightly press each portion down to flatten slightly.
- Bake Biscuits: Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the biscuits turn golden brown and are cooked through.
- Prepare Topping: While the biscuits bake, mix melted butter with garlic powder and Italian seasoning or parsley.
- Brush Topping: Once the biscuits are out of the oven and still warm, generously brush the garlic butter topping over each biscuit for extra flavor and shine.
Notes
- Do not overmix the dough to keep the biscuits tender and fluffy.
- Use a small cookie scoop to ensure uniform biscuit sizes for even baking.
- Chilling the dough before baking helps the biscuits hold their shape better.
- For a stronger garlic flavor, add more garlic powder to the topping as desired.
- Make sure the cream cheese is softened at room temperature for easier mixing.
