Keto Sausage Cheddar Biscuits

I never thought I’d find a biscuit that satisfied my love for flaky, buttery dough while still keeping my keto goals on track—until I made these Keto Sausage Cheddar Biscuits.

The first time I whipped up a batch, it was purely an experiment. I had some leftover sausage patties from breakfast and a half-empty bag of shredded mozzarella in the fridge, so I decided to get creative. Mixing cheese into the dough felt a little rebellious, but what came out of the oven was nothing short of magic: golden, cheesy biscuits with a crisp outer layer and a soft, slightly gooey center.

Each bite had layers of flavor—the smoky richness of sausage, the sharp bite of cheddar, and the creamy, melt-in-your-mouth dough. It reminded me of a classic Southern biscuit but with a keto-friendly twist that didn’t skimp on flavor or texture.

Now, these biscuits have become a staple in my kitchen. They’re perfect for meal prep, easy to customize, and, most importantly, they’re so delicious that even non-keto eaters love them. If you’ve been searching for a biscuit that’s both satisfying and low-carb, you’re in for a treat.

Short Description

These Keto Sausage Cheddar Biscuits are cheesy, savory, and packed with flavor! Made with almond flour and mozzarella, they deliver all the comfort of a biscuit without the carbs. Perfect for breakfast, meal prep, or a grab-and-go snack!

Key Ingredients

• 2 oz cream cheese
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella
• 2 eggs
• 1 cup almond flour
• 2 oz thinly sliced cheddar cheese
• 6 cooked sausage patties

Tools Needed

• Microwave-safe bowl
• Mixing bowls
• Baking tray
• Parchment paper
• Spoon or spatula

Cooking Instructions

Step 1: Preheat & Prepare

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent sticking.

Step 2: Melt the Cheeses

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine cream cheese and shredded mozzarella. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until melted and smooth.

Step 3: Make the Dough

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and mix in the almond flour. Add the melted cheese mixture and stir until it forms a sticky dough. If handling is difficult, wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.

Step 4: Fill & Shape the Biscuits

Take a small handful of dough (about 3 inches wide) and flatten it slightly. Place a sausage patty and a slice of cheddar cheese in the center. Carefully wrap the dough around the filling, sealing it completely.

Step 5: Bake

Arrange the biscuits on the prepared tray, making sure they don’t touch. Bake for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown and slightly crispy on top.

Step 6: Serve

For an extra cheesy kick, sprinkle some shredded cheddar on top before serving.

FAQs

Make sure to mix the dough thoroughly and let it rest for a few minutes before shaping.

3. Can I make these dairy-free?
You can try using dairy-free mozzarella and cream cheese, but the texture may vary.

4. What’s the best way to get a crispy top?
Brush the biscuits with a little melted butter before baking for a golden, crispy finish.

5. Can I add other seasonings?
Absolutely! Try garlic powder, smoked paprika, or even a pinch of cayenne for extra flavor.
