Keto Ham and Cheese Breakfast Biscuits
These biscuits are the perfect easy keto breakfast, packed with cheese and ham, and each containing less than 2 net carbs! Here’s how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 3 ounces cream cheese, softened
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups almond flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1 3/4 cups diced ham
Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- In a mixing bowl, blend softened cream cheese, cheddar cheese, and eggs until smooth.
- Add almond flour, baking powder, salt, heavy cream, and melted butter. Mix until combined.
- Fold in the diced ham, being careful not to overmix.
- Refrigerate the dough for 10-15 minutes.
- Using a small cookie or ice cream scoop, place the biscuits on a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Gently press the dough down.
- Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown.

Notes:
- You can use unsweetened almond milk instead of heavy cream, but note that the fat content will decrease.
- Be cautious not to overmix the dough; it should be thick.
- Using a small scoop will yield about 22 biscuits. If you prefer larger biscuits, you’ll get around 12, each containing about 4 net carbs. Adjust the cooking time accordingly (16-18 minutes for larger biscuits).

These Keto Ham and Cheese Breakfast Biscuits are the perfect low-carb recipe when you’re craving good old classics like bacon and biscuits! I think breakfast can be one of the hardest meals to make low-carb if you’re short on time. In the morning when time is not an issue, you can make an omelet or a steak and eggs. But if your time is limited, this can be really difficult. I have the perfect solution!
These cheesy almond flour biscuits are filled with chopped ham and baked until perfectly flaky. They warm up nicely and are freezer-friendly, so they’re an easy keto meal prep option. If you need something to keep you busy between meals, I think they make a great snack.

How to make Low-Carb Ham and Cheese Biscuits?
This recipe is based on my Keto Cheddar Garlic Biscuits, which I share on my other website, Maebells. This version is insanely similar to Red Lobster Cheddar Bay Biscuits, and they only have two net carbs each!
These Keto Ham and Cheese Breakfast Biscuits have the same cheese base with a cream cheese, cheddar, and egg base. This mix makes excellent soft, fluffy, cheesy biscuits. After the cream cheese, cheddar, and eggs are mixed until smooth, add the almond flour, baking powder, salt, butter, and cream.
Next, fold in the diced ham. The dough will be quite thick and you may want to add more moisture, but don’t. After mixing the dough, let it rest in the refrigerator for 10 minutes (otherwise it will spread a lot while baking).
Then, using a small cookie or ice cream scoop, place on a greased or lined baking sheet. Gently press the dough to flatten it slightly. Bake for 13-15 minutes until golden brown.
How do you store Keto Biscuits?
After cooking, store these biscuits in the refrigerator. Since the recipe is 22, I like to freeze about half of my batch for quick sandwiches or side dishes. They freeze nicely, so store in an airtight freezer bag and reheat in 20-second intervals until warm.

I use a SMALL cookie/ice cream scoop to get 22 biscuits. If you want to use large/full sized scoops, you will end up with about 12 biscuits, each containing about 4 net carbs. Cooking time for large biscuits is 16-18 minutes.
