Ingredients

  • 3 cups blanched almond meal/flour
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt + more for sprinkling on top
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 2 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 1 cup freshly grated cheddar cheese (a blend of cheddar + Parmesan is also great!)
  • 2 tbsp milk ( if needed)

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • In a large mixing bowl, stir together the almond flour, sea salt, and baking soda.
  • Add melted butter and egg, gently stirring to mix.
  • Fold in cheddar cheese. If the mixture looks too thick add 2 tbsp of milk to soften it a little.
  • Use a mini ice cream scoop to make 15 heaping scoops (golf ball sized) of dough. You can roll the dough gently in your hands, then place onto a greased or parchment lined baking sheet; or you can drop them directly onto the prepared pan and use your hands to form them into biscuit shapes. Either way, wet your fingertips to keep the dough from sticking.
  • Sprinkle the tops lightly with salt and bake for 15 minutes or until tops are slightly firm to the touch and surface is just beginning to brown.
  • Allow to cool on pan or transfer to a wire rack to cool before serving.

Notes

Extra Tips;

  • Don't have cheddar? Try guryere or parmesan
  • Adding fresh or dried herbs would be a great way to spruce them up for your holiday table as well!  
  • Use for dunking in soups, stews or even as a snack
