Cheesy Biscuits
Inspired by the “drop biscuits” typical of southern US cuisine, these gluten-free and low carb cheesy biscuits will be a hit in your home!
Servings: 10 biscuits
Ingredients
- 4 eggs lightly beaten
- ¼ cup butter melted
- ¼ tsp salt or 1 pinch
- ½ tsp garlic powder or to taste
- ½ tsp onion powder or to taste
- ⅓ cup coconut flour
- ½ tsp baking powder
- ½ cup queijo da ilha (Portuguese) (or another sharp cheese = cheddar, gouda, manchego, asiago, etc.) shredded
- 1 tbsp butter melted (optional)
- 2 tbsp parsley finely chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F). Grease a baking sheet or line with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, beat eggs lightly with a fork or wire whisk. Add melted butter, salt, garlic and onion powder. Mix to combine.
- Add the coconut flour, cheese and baking powder, and mix until incorporated.
- Use a spoon to scoop out dough and "drop" or transfer to prepared pan. Divide dough into 10 biscuits.
- Place in the oven and bake for 15 minutes or until browned.
- Optional: Brush the baked and still hot biscuits with melted butter and sprinkle with chopped parsley.
Notes
- If you can't find (or don't like) Portuguese island cheese, don't be discouraged. Use another aged sharp cheese that you prefer (eg, cheddar, gouda, manchego, asiago, or even parmesan).
- Use the microwave on low power to melt the butter.
