Cheesy Herb Biscuits (Low Carb & Gluten Free)
By Melissa Sevigny @ www.ibreatheimhungry.com/
There are so many possibilities for this recipe - other flavors, many, many sandwich/appetizer options (I had one with eggs and ham for breakfast today), a great accompaniment to soup or chili, - it goes on and on. Also great is that they freeze perfectly. I tested the theory last night and nuked one for 20 seconds this morning to go with my eggs, and it was perfect - maybe even better than yesterday if you can believe it. My freezer will never be empty of these from now on if I can help it.
Feel free to omit the herbs or change them around to suit your flavor preference.
Makes 8 biscuits (or 6 large biscuits)
Recipe ingredients:
1 cup water
1 tsp granulated sugar substitute (stevia)
1 Tbl butter
1/2 cup shredded extra sharp cheddar
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1/4 tsp dried thyme
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp celery salt
3/4 cup coconut flour
1/4 cup almond flour
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp xanthan gum
2 egg yolks
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
In a small saucepan bring the water to a boil along with the butter, sugar substitute, and cheddar cheese.
Remove from the heat and set aside.
Meanwhile, combine the salt, pepper, oregano, thyme,garlic powder, celery salt, coconut flour, almond flour, baking powder and xanthan gum in a small bowl and mix well.
Add the dry ingredients to the liquid and stir until a dough forms.
Add the egg yolks and stir until fully absorbed.
Add the parmesan cheese and mix well - you may have to use your hands for this step.
Divide the dough into 8 small (for traditional biscuit size) or 6 large (for hamburger bun size) balls and form into a biscuit shape (about 1 inch thick) with your hands.
Place on a greased cookie sheet.
Let the dough rest for at least 10 minutes.
Bake in a preheated oven at 375 degrees (F) for 25 minutes or until golden brown and puffed.
Cool slightly before serving.
