How to make Cheesy Ham and Jalapeno Puffs?
You can easily make these bites in just a few simple steps. Start by dicing the ham, if you prefer a more flavorful dish, you can use leftover ham, thick sliced deli ham, ham steak, or even country ham. Then follow these steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Combine the chopped ham and cream cheese until completely combined.
- Stir in the cream cheese, chopped jalapeño, eggs, almond flour and baking powder until a thick dough forms.
- Chill the dough 15 minutes.
- Use a 1 inch cookie scoop to portion the bites out. Drop onto a silicone lined baking sheet and bake 15-18 min until golden brown and cooked through.
Can you freeze these?
Certainly! In fact, make a double batch and stash the second portion in the freezer. I love to keep these on hand because you can take out however many you need and reheat for a quick breakfast or lunch. To freeze, simply store in a freezer safe bag for up to 3 months.
How do I reheat ham and cheese bites?
Reheat these ham and cheese bites in 30-second increments until warmed through. Also, you can reheat them in a deep fryer if you lower the temperature to 325 degrees F and heat them for 4-5 minutes.
If reheating from frozen, remove individual bites and reheat in 30-second increments until warmed through.
How many carbohydrates are in each bite?
One batch makes over 20 bites (24 for me) and each contains just 1.1 net carbs! Pair this with a side salad or low-carb soup for a satisfying lunch that will keep you full all day!
