Cheesy Garlic & Parsley Biscuits

Instructions

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, pepper, cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, and chopped parsley.
3. Cut in the Butter: Add the cold cubed butter to the dry mixture and use a pastry cutter or fork to cut the butter into the flour until it resembles coarse crumbs.
4. Combine Wet Ingredients: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, sour cream (or Greek yogurt), and minced garlic if using.
5. Mix Together: Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. Do not over-mix.
6. Form Biscuits: Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form dough balls. Place them on the prepared baking sheet and gently flatten the tops.
7. Bake: Bake for 15-18 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown and firm to the touch.
8. Cool: Let the biscuits cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Storage Methods

• Room Temperature: Store biscuits in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 days.
• Refrigeration: For longer storage, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to a week.
• Freezing: To freeze, place the cooled biscuits in a freezer-safe bag or container. They can be frozen for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature or warm them in the oven before serving.

Variations

• Herb Variations: Swap parsley for other herbs like chives, dill, or rosemary to change up the flavor profile.
• Spicy Biscuits: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños for a spicy kick.
• Different Cheeses: Experiment with other cheeses such as mozzarella, Gouda, or blue cheese for a different taste.

Benefits of Ingredients

• Almond Flour: A great low-carb alternative to traditional flour, almond flour is high in healthy fats, fiber, and protein. It helps keep blood sugar levels stable and supports heart health.
• Cheese: Provides calcium, protein, and healthy fats. Cheese adds richness and flavor to the biscuits while keeping them keto-friendly.
• Parsley: A herb rich in vitamins A, C, and K, parsley offers antioxidants and anti-inflammatory benefits.
• Garlic: Known for its immune-boosting properties, garlic adds a punch of flavor and is also beneficial for heart health.
• Butter: Provides essential fatty acids and helps achieve the desired texture in baking. Opt for unsalted butter to control the salt content in the recipe.
