# Guide to Cooking:
01 -
Set the oven temperature to 175°C (350°F) and prepare a baking sheet by greasing or lining it with parchment paper.
02 -
In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, shredded cheddar, and eggs until the cream cheese is fully smooth and incorporated with no lumps.
03 -
Incorporate almond flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream, and melted butter into the wet mixture, stirring just until combined.
04 -
Gently fold the chopped ham into the batter, taking care not to overmix to maintain tender biscuits. Refrigerate the dough for 10 to 15 minutes.
05 -
Using a small cookie or ice cream scoop, portion the dough onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly press each mound down to shape the biscuits.
06 -
Bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until the biscuits are golden brown. Remove from oven and immediately brush with melted butter for a glossy finish.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
To reduce fat content, you may substitute unsweetened almond milk for heavy cream, though this will alter the texture and richness.
02 -
Avoid overmixing the dough to prevent tough biscuits; the mixture should remain thick and slightly lumpy.
03 -
Using a small scoop yields 22 biscuits with approximately 1.9 net carbs each; a larger scoop yields about 12 biscuits with roughly 4 net carbs each, requiring a longer bake time of 16 to 18 minutes.
