Ingredients (makes 6 biscuits, double or triple for multiple mouths or meal prep/freezing)

  • 1/3 cup (36g) almond flour
  • 1/2 tbsp (7g) butter, melted
  • 1 tsp baking powder
  • 2 tbsp (10g) mixed color hot peppers or jalapeños
  • 2 tbsp (10g) onions, diced
  • 5 tbsp (75g) egg whites, raw (For fluffier biscuits and a less eggy flavor)
  • 1/6 lb (75g) sausage (so 1/6 of a standard pack) or 6 slices bacon
  • 1/2 cup (60g) cheese, I use a mix of cheddar and mozzarella
  • Seasonings of choice (I recommend salt, pepper, mixed herbs and 1/4 tsp garlic)

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F/175°C
  2. Pan fry sausage or bacon with onions and peppers, breaking up sausage with spatula and let cool. If using bacon cut into bacon bits afterwards.
  3. Melt butter and let cool
  4. Combine almond flour, baking powder, and seasonings in a bowl. Pour in melted butter and mix thoroughly
  5. Pour in cooked sausage/bacon into mix. Add in cheese, saving some to top cookies with, and throughly distribute
  6. Add in egg whites at this step
  7. Spoon 6 balls of dough onto parchment paper lined baking sheet as evenly as you can, making sure to spread out
  8. Slightly flatten dough balls out with back of spoon, then top each with left over cheese
  9. Bake for 10-12 minutes at 350°F. Check around 10 for brownness. Cook no longer than 12.

Tips

  • MUST bake on parchment paper, foil will cause the bottoms to stick and you will end up with a crumbly mess. Even when greased
  • In a rush? Save time with pre cooked sausage/bacon pieces. If frozen defrost before adding to mixture.
  • 10 minutes is usually enough to get a nice golden color, 12 tops for darker
  • Reheat in microwave, then on hot skillet to get a crispy bottom.
  • Perfect for freezing, defrosting and reheating.
  • If you want more meat use up to 1/4 lb sausage per batch of 2 servings. Anything more than that and the cookies may be too big to hold together.
  • In the UK? Use Tesco Ground Almonds, Double Gloucester Cheese Block, Tesco Brand Mozzarella For Pizza Block, Two Chicks Egg Whites, 1 (or 2) single sausage from a 6 pack decased, or 6 streaky bacon rashers, and Santa Maria Jalapeños.
