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.

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.
